Dispute leads to shooting inside Stonecrest Mall, police say

They said one man involved was "grazed" and that there were no other injuries.

DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — A person was shot Thursday afternoon at The Mall at Stonecrest during a fight, DeKalb Police said.

It is unknown how many rounds were fired -- police only said "shots were fired." They said one man involved was "grazed" and that there were no other injuries. Police said this was not an "active shooter situation."

The mall management also confirmed that the situation appeared to stem from a dispute between two customers. They added that the mall was closed in order for the DeKalb Police to complete their investigation.

Shoppers were shocked to learn of the news.

"All the stores were closed and there was no one in there. I was really confused and so was my mom," one woman said. "We were walking in like, 'man, what happened?' So I ended up looking it up and I was like, I was in shock."

By 4 p.m. when 11Alive crews were still at the scene, the mall had reopened but most of the smaller stories remained closed.
