Authorities are actively searching for a gunman after a shooting incident unfolded at Maplewood Mall in Minnesota on Sunday, resulting in one man being injured.

According to Fox 9 Minneapolis-St. Paul, two juveniles have been apprehended and are currently held at the Ramsey County Jail under suspicion of third-degree riot.

Investigations suggest that the gunfire erupted following a confrontation among a group of individuals on the mall’s lower level, as reported by local sources.

Upon arrival, law enforcement officers discovered a man who had sustained a gunshot wound to his hip. He was promptly taken to Regions Hospital, where it’s confirmed that his injury is not life-threatening.

Maplewood police noted that the adult male was shot during a disturbance near one of the mall entrances, highlighting the chaotic nature of the scene.

CBS News has provided a description of the suspected shooter, identifying him as a male with a slight build, wearing a black stocking hat, black jacket, white shirt, and black pants.

The Maplewood Police Department did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for additional information.

Miranda Klein, who works at Maplewood Mall, told Fox 9 that customers reported a fight in the bathroom shortly before gunfire rang out.

“The customer told me that there was fighting happening in the bathroom from a bunch of high school kids. And that was right when we heard the shot,” she said. “Of course, at first everybody was just confused. You can’t really process what happened until after it happens.”

Another employee, Cat Vang, said she heard gunshots and saw people running. 

“We just heard like some gunshots and then we saw all the kids just like run the other direction,” Vang told reporters.
