Gun fired inside mall, bystander hit
An altercation between two groups of teenagers resulted in one teenager pulling and firing a gun inside the mall. All parties fled on foot and were not apprehended at the scene. An uninvolved teenaged female was hit by the errant round and was transported to a local hospital with life-threatening injury.
The mall was locked down for safety and a search conducted. Information was developed indicating the male left the area. Based on security video provided by the mall, the suspect description is of a teenaged black male, with a large Afro hairstyle, wearing a white sweatshirt with black writing. The mall is no longer under lockdown and there is no ongoing threat there.
LPD detectives are actively working leads at this time.
There are no suspects in custody. The investigation is ongoing.
