Somali Group Al-Shabaab Claims Responsibility
The gunmen announced that non-Muslims would be targeted, said Elijah Kamau, who was at the mall at the time of the attack.
“The gunmen told Muslims to stand up and leave. They were safe, and non-Muslims would be targeted,” Kamau told The Associated Press.
Jay Patel, who sought cover on an upper floor in the mall when the shooting began, said that when he looked out of a window onto the upper parking deck of the mall he saw the gunmen with a group of people.
Patel said that as the attackers were talking, some of the people stood up and left, while others were shot.
