(ALPHARETTA, Ga.) — Two teenage girls have been taken to the hospital and a suspect is on the run after a shooting at a carnival at a north Fulton County mall, police say.
Alpharetta police say they were called to North Point Mall on Wednesday evening just after 7 p.m. to reports of shots fired.
When they arrived, officers found a 15-year-old girl and an 18-year-old girl who had been shot.
WSB-TV crews at the mall saw someone being airlifted to the hospital. Police say the other victim was taken to the hospital by ambulance. They are both currently stable.
The suspected shooter ran from the mall after the shooting, according to police. They have only identified the suspected shooter as a young adult man. Detectives say they found a handgun in the area of the rides, where the shooting happened. It is unclear if the shooting happened on one of the rides.
Police say they believe this is an isolated incident and the public is not in any danger. Details on what led up to the shooting are unclear.
WSB-TV has reached out to North Point Mall’s management company, Trademark Property, for comment, but has not heard back.
