Shots Fired in Norfolk Mall, Two Injured

MacArthur Center Website

NORFOLK, Va. (AP) - Police say a mall in Virginia reopened hours after two people were injured when shots were fired there. 

The Norfolk Police Department tweeted Thursday that a fight inside the MacArthur Center in downtown Norfolk led to shots being fired. They say two people were taken to the hospital with injuries that aren't thought to be life-threatening. It's unclear if they were shot.

Police say the mall has reopened for business, but the interior entrance to the Nordstrom department store will remain closed while the scene was processed.
