Good Samaritan Came to 9-Year-Old's Rescue After Girl Was Shot in Victorville Mall
"And then we heard like four gunshots. We went to the front to close the doors and people started going to the back of the store," Stacy's clothing store employee Carlon said. He didn't want to be identified further."She was sitting down and we had some towels over her so she wouldn't see the blood and get too scared, and we just told her, 'you are going to be OK, you're doing really good,'" Carlon said.
Investigators say the accused shooter, 20-year-old Marquel Cockrell, immediately left the scene, but several hours later officers found him. "I'm glad they caught him and he will definitely pay for this. I really hope they throw the book at him because you can't go shooting in a mall especially when there's a lot of children in there with the Easter Bunny," the victim's grandmother said.
