Police in Ohio say they are searching for two people after shots were fired inside a Columbus mall, triggering an evacuation of the premises. No injuries were reported. Columbus police said two officers working special duty in Polaris Fashion Place heard gunshots at about 12:30 p.m. Wednesday, and many patrons also reported the gunfire.
Sgt. James Fuqua told reporters that at least two people apparently fired inside the mall, which was populated by a “substantial amount” of customers as well as store employees at the time.
Multiple shell casings from two different firearms were recovered and a handgun was recovered from the parking lot.
