Chief Barry Weber gave no motive for the attack at the Mayfair Mall during a briefing on Friday evening.
He said the shooter had left the scene before officers arrived, and that extent of the victims’ injuries was unknown.
“Preliminary statements from witnesses indicate that the shooter is a white male in his 20s or 30s,” Weber told reporters. “Investigators are working on determining the identity of that suspect.”
Police also said the shooting apparently stemmed from an altercation and was not a random act.
Authorities said the mall was closed Saturday and investigators were on scene overnight.
