Police investigate shots fired at South Carolina mall

Two men drew guns and fired shots at each other at a South Carolinashopping center on Monday after getting into an argument, but there were no injuries, North Charleston police said.

The suspects were still at large but there was no active-shooter situation at the Northwoods Mall in North Charleston, police department spokesman Spencer Pryor told a news briefing. The mall remained shut, he said.

A restaurant manager at the shopping center told Reuters that she saw people running from the mall around 5:25 p.m. The witness said she was too frightened to give her name.

Photos on Twitter showed police officers responding to the report of gunfire inside the mall with rifles drawn.
