No one was seriously hurt but several police departments were on the scene for several hours. CBS 21’s Liz Collin explains what happened.
It all started just after 12:30 Sunday a teenager says he was shot in the foot outside the Great Escape entrance at the mall. Then he ran through the mall leaving a trail of blood behind.
Jason Pooler pulled up to run some errands with his family, he knows work’s going on at the mall for months.
"The first thing you think is what’s that noise. The second thing maybe I shouldn’t be here. I looked at my wife and i said there’s no construction that had to be gunshots."
Several shots fired outside, police say the group of young guys responsible fled the scene in a black Dodge Magnum - that’s why the mall stayed open: police decided shoppers were safe.
Mark Nobile, Harrisburg Mall General Manager:
"It’s just unsettling whenever you hear you hear it you don’t think of other incidents you think of your own and that’s what we were thinking of."
Nearly an hour after the victim went to the hospital with no signs of the shooter police cuff two guys driving a black Charger in the parking lot after spotting guns on both of them.
Swatare Township Police Chief David Bogdanovic:
"It was discovered they had a license to carry. They were released and sent on their way. He just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time."
Police say people were safe the entire time and that the incident was over before it even started, but as always they say shoppers should pay attention.
The mall just installed 47 new security cameras. Police are currently reviewing that footage. The Harrisburg Mall also has a phone system that called each store in the mall to tell workers what was going on.
Police are still looking for that black Dodge Magnum. They are hoping to get more information on the suspects from the victim. The victim has already told police he doesn’t know the group who shot him.
