A report of a shooting was received by authorities around 6:30 p.m. at the Mall of Victor Valley, located at 14400 Bear Valley Rd Ste 735.
The stores went into lockdown, with employees and customers housed inside. A strong presence of police officers was outside Barnes & Noble, and customers were criticized to a vestibule within a nearby Macy’s store as MPs held research in the area.
The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department evacuated the mall during the search for the perpetrator, who fled the scene and remains at large. Authorities described the shooting as an “isolated incident” rather than an active sniper attack.
The 9-year-old girl who was injured was taken to hospital in stable condition, according to the sheriff’s department.
The incident caused panic among employees and customers in the area.
“We were scared. We were just waiting for someone to take us out,” said Silemyr Valle, a mall employee.
No further suspects are believed to be involved and authorities say they are investigating as the manhunt for the gunman continues.
Authorities say the mall was evacuated and closed for the night.
