“There was an altercation between two groups of men. At some point one of the individuals from one of the groups discharged a firearm at least twice, a handgun,” Superintendent Rob Johnson told reporters Thursday evening. “Those individuals appear to have left the mall.”

The shooting took place at the mall, one of the busiest shopping centres in the country, as thousands of people were out doing back-to-school shopping.

In a tweet, police said they are looking for multiple suspects. They described one suspect as a male in his 20s who was wearing a black jacket with a hoodie and blue jeans. A second suspect was described as a skinny male in his 20s, standing around five-foot-nine and carrying a black handgun.


Police later said that there were at least three males in each party, but detailed suspect descriptions were not available for all of them. The suspects are believed to have fled through the southeast corner of the mall, but it is not known if they escaped on transit or in a vehicle.
