Two people were injured in a shooting at Manassas Mall Tuesday afternoon, police said.
Two groups of people got into a fight in the parking lot when shots were fired, police said.
One person went to a hospital with a gunshot wound to the lower body and notified police of the shooting.
Police found another victim with a minor wound believed to have been a ricochet, police said.
Both victims will survive, police said.
Customers in the food court described hearing gunshots before seeing people running.
“All of a sudden, everyone from the food court was running and screaming, and then we just heard five gunshots,” said Doris Morales, who was at the mall with her two daughters. “And then I just pushed my girls inside the Victoria’s Secret.”
