This looks like some type of targeted argument thats what it sound like, some type of a gun battle. Police dont think that anybody was hit by the gunfire so thats good news but you can imagine the scary situation for shoppers shall anybody in this area because shots were being fired right here in this area of the parking lot, in front of the Old Navy Store and the bed, bath and beyond and this happened during what was likely a very busy time. The area was locked down following the gunfire. Witnesses described this as a shootout between two men in a car and two people walking nearby. When police got here, they did find a car that was hit by bullets. Not long after the shooting, police did detain two men inside the mall and both are being questioned about what happened. Police dont think that anybody was hurt out here but they are working to make sure. Police detectives are checking with local area hospitals, because of the fact that we dont know if we identified or located all of the people that are involved in this. Right now, we are checking to make sure that no other gunshot victims have shown up at a local hospital for treatment that could have before involved in tonights incidents. Police are not sure what prompted last nights shooting, what the motive may have been but they are investigating. They are also checking Surveillance Video from the bay fair mall here and trying to figure out if that may help them in any way and talking to any witnesses as possible out here. So far, no arrests have been made in connection with this shooting. The good news is that nobody apparently was hit by gunfire here but the shooting played out in a very public place, a very dangerous situation for a lot of innocent people. I would say, very scary. But i would imagine, sin the time of the day that it happened, there would be a lot of witnesses for them to talk to. I would imagine so. Sounds like police had a list of folks of people in the area and may have seen something. The reason they detained those two men inside the mall last night following the gunfire is because they got reports from witnesses about those two men running through the mall. So thats why they were detained. Unclear if they have any involvement, still. They are still sorting all of this out. Certainly a lot of people in this area when this happened.
