Two women in Georgia were wounded in a shooting at a carnival that was held in the parking lot of a mall Wednesday night, and a suspect remains on the loose, authorities said.
Families were seen scattering to safety after gunfire erupted around 7 p.m. outside North Point Mall, the Alpharetta Department of Public Safety said.
"It was in the area of the rides when the shots were fired," Lt. David Freeman said, according to FOX5 Atlanta. "I'm not sure if they were on the ride or standing next to it."
Police and fire personnel arrived and found two young adult females suffering from gunshot wounds, Freeman told reporters. The names and ages of the women were not immediately provided.
