 investigators aren't releasing details about the masked gunman who witnesses say calmly announced "I am the shooter" before opening fire. Frightened holiday shoppers quickly started heading for the exits. 

 Authorities say the shooter was firing in the food court until his rifle jammed. That's when he ran into this Macy's. The mall will remain closed while investigators continue to gather evidence. A hospital spokesperson says the injured woman is in serious condition but her injuries are not life threatening.
