FORT WAYNE, Ind. — The Fort Wayne Police Department is investigating a shooting that took place at a mall on the city's north side Saturday afternoon. 

According to a release from the FWPD, around 2:40 p.m. May 4, officers responded to a report of a shooting at the Glenbrook Square Mall, located at 4201 Coldwater Road in Fort Wayne. 

Several officers, including officers from other agencies, medics and the Fort Wayne Fire Department, responded to the scene and began to clear guests and employees from the mall.

One person was shot in their lower body, while another has a lower body injury. Both individuals were transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
