The three people who sustained gunshot wounds were rushed to a nearby hospital but none are believed to be in a critical condition. Four people have been detained in connection to the shooting.
“Preliminary indications are that the shooting took place just outside the mall,” Louis Brownlee said on behalf of the Memphis Police Department. He also revealed that a gun was found outside the shopping centre but he did not say if it was used during the shooting incident.
The footage shows a crowd of people running for cover as shots are heard in the background. The other clip appears to show a man in an all-black outfit drop a gun outside before picking it up and firing it several times. "Everybody was running,” one witness said.
“And I was scared, so I started running too.
