NORFOLK, Va. — Norfolk Police say two people were shot Thursday afternoon in one of the parking garages at MacArthur Center.
The shooting reportedly happened around 4 p.m. Two males have been taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
One shopper said she didn’t see the shooting, but police did not let her use an elevator in the North garage.
“There was just blood on the elevator, and he wouldn’t let anyone in the elevator or anything like that,” she said. “So, you just had to take the stairs.”
The mall didn’t go on lockdown, but shopper Davina Griffin said some stores started closing earlier.
“One store, I was about to walk up to, and a lady was like, 'Oh no, we are closed,'” Griffin said. “It’s just a lot of confusion in the mall.”
At one point management did open the garage entrance to let a tow truck in. They reopened the entrance altogether around 6:30 p.m.
No other information was immediately available, as detectives continue to investigate the shooting.
