Gunfire erupted inside a busy mall near Atlanta on Saturday afternoon, wounding one person and sending scores of holiday shoppers fleeing, authorities say.
Aside from the wounded shopper, no one else was injured, according to a mall spokeswoman.
"An altercation between three individuals escalated this afternoon in our food court," said Lindsay Kahn, a rep for mall owners Brookfield Properties. "While we are disheartened by this isolated incident, we are grateful there were no further injuries and that our security and partners at the Cobb County Police Department were on site to contain the situation. This was a frightening experience for our tenants and guests and we are assisting the police with their developing investigation."
Multiple police agencies from the Atlanta area responded to the scene, as shoppers streamed out of the mall."We just came to get some Chinese food," the shopper wrote,"then all hell broke lose."
