SAN ANTONIO (Reuters) - A bystander to a botched robbery at a Texas jewelry store was killed on Sunday, before one of the two robbers involved shot and wounded six other people while fleeing, police said on Sunday.

The robbery took place at a Kay Jewelers outlet in the Rolling Oaks Mall in San Antonio, Police Chief William McManus said in a video posted on the city’s Facebook page.

Two bystanders tried to intervene, one of whom was shot and killed by one of the robbers. The other bystander, who was licensed to carry a concealed firearm, shot and wounded the other suspect, who was later hospitalized, McManus said.

The first robber ran through the mall, firing his gun as he fled, shooting six people.

San Antonio police said he was caught after crashing a stolen vehicle that contained two guns, and was charged with capital murder and two counts of aggravated assault.

“It’s absolutely senseless. This is the second time that a Good Samaritan was killed trying to intervene in a crime,” McManus said.

On the day after Thanksgiving, a person who tried to stop a woman from being assaulted was shot to death outside a San Antonio Walmart that was packed with holiday shoppers.

The six shoppers shot on Sunday were hospitalized in undetermined condition, the police chief said. Their identities were not disclosed.

The robber who was shot was in critical condition but expected to survive. Authorities said he would also be charged with capital murder and aggravated assault.

The mall, located in the northwestern part of the city, was locked down while police hunted for the second suspect.</s>One victim is dead and six others were injured in a shootout at Rolling Oaks Mall on Sunday afternoon.

A man said he was waiting for his 16-year-old daughter to be released from the locked-down mall Sunday evening. He had been worried when he heard about the shooting but felt better after texting with his daughter, who was unharmed.

Murphy was at the Rolling Oaks Kay Jewelers store with his wife to have their wedding rings cleaned, said Chris Cercone, boyfriend of Murphy’s stepdaughter.

“Jon was a first-rate protector,” Cercone said. “When I started dating his stepdaughter, he let me know in no uncertain terms that his eyes were on me, and I was a better man for it.

“He worked as hard and selflessly as anyone I’ve ever met, and he did it all for his family.”

Cercone said he has set up a GoFundMe account for Murphy’s family.
