A heavy police presence swarmed North Star Mall Tuesday night as officers searched for a suspect in a shooting at the Macy's department store.
Sgt. Bobby Bradley said the shooting occurred just before 8pm at the entrance to the store with customers around.
"There was a man and a woman that went in and they were shoplifting. They were confronted by loss prevention officer. The man then shot the loss prevention officer in the leg," Bradley said.
The suspects fled on foot and are still at large. Bradley said the man in his 40's.
The loss prevention officer was taken to the hospital. She is in stable condition, officials said.
SAPD is treating this as an aggravated robbery.
This is the third time police have responded to a shooting at North Star Mall since June.
On June 4, a man was shot to death while getting his hair cut at a North Star Mall barber shop.
IMPORTANT UPDATE: There is no active shooter situation at North Star Mall.
