Shots were fired at Tysons Corner Saturday afternoon after a fight between two groups of people, Fairfax County police said, sending people running from the mall.
Authorities responded at around 2:47 p.m. after they say a man pulled out a gun and fired on one of the walkways on the second floor, during a fight between two groups of at least three people each.
No one appeared to have been shot, but three people were taken to local hospitals for injuries suffered while they were fleeing from inside, police said in a news conference.
Police cleared the mall and had previously told people to shelter in place until officers arrived to assist them. Several officers who are assigned to the mall daily responded immediately to the scene, authorities said.
