At least three people have been injured after shots were fired inside a packed mall in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Police have confirmed it was an officer-involved shooting, WSOC reported.
The Instagram of the man who was shot dead in the mall was discovered which shows him flaunting his weapons.
He is a self proclaimed ‘rapper’ and has most recently released a music video on youtube and goes by the name of ‘Donkey Cartel.’

Off-duty officers who were working side jobs there responded to the altercation.
One officer shot an armed subject, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department confirmed.
The gunman was pronounced dead at the scene by Medic.
A massive police response along with ambulances and Paramedics were at the Northlake Mall, on one of the busiest shopping days of the year – just hours before Christmas Eve.
