| The incident at the crowded Ward Parkway centre in Kansas City happened just before 1600 (1900 GMT) on Sunday.
The gunman shot two people dead at the centre's car park, before wounding two others inside the main building.
The assailant was later found dead, but it was not immediately clear if he was shot by police.
Police are also investigating whether an earlier killing at a house not far away from the centre and also a shooting in which a policeman was injured involved the gunman.
The gunman's identity was not immediately released.
'Mass chaos'
Kansas City police said the shopping centre was packed with "hundreds and hundreds" of shoppers when the shooting spree began.
"It was just mass chaos, as you can imagine, on a Sunday in a crowded mall," police spokesman Tony Sanders said.
The gunfire sent terrified shoppers scrambling for cover.
"I was in my truck and the gunman was two cars over from me," witness Queea Miller told CNN.
She said she saw the gunman shooting several times.
Police believe the chain of events began earlier on Sunday when they found the body of a woman, who had been missing for several days, in a house in Kansas City.
After discovering that the woman's car was missing, police put out a description of the vehicle.
The car was spotted later on Sunday by a policeman, who pulled the driver over and was shot in the arm, police said.
The policeman returned fire but the driver fled.
Local police were notified about the incident and minutes later were called to the shopping centre after reports of shootings there.
