(Lancaster) — Authorities say a Lancaster County mall was evacuated after shots were fired, but no major injuries were immediately reported.
Lancaster police said the gunfire at the Park City Center was reported just before 2:30 p.m. Sunday. LNP newspaper reported that video on social media appeared to show people running for the exits as at least two gunshots sounded.
A police official said the scene had been stabilized, and police said in a brief statement that there was “no immediate threat or danger to the public at this time.”
LNP newspaper quoted a dispatch report saying six people were transported to local hospitals, four with gunshot wounds, and two suspects were taken into custody. District Attorney Heather Adams told a reporter that none of the injuries were life-threatening.
Park City Center was closed and would remain so until Monday, police said. The mall’s website says more than 150 stores make up the shopping area in the heart of Lancaster County.
