A shooting outside an Arizona mall left shoppers running for their lives Wednesday afternoon, according to local reports.

Five people, including three kids, were shot and hospitalized after a fight broke out between two groups at the Tanger Outlets in Glendale, Ariz.

A man, who was armed with a handgun, got into an altercation with a group of juveniles. The confrontation escalated to gunfire, Glendale Police Officer Tiffany Ngalula said.

A small child and a woman who were with the man suffered non-life-threatening injuries, Ngalula said. The child is in stable condition.

The other two juveniles shot also sustained non-life-threatening injuries.

Glendale police did not release the identities of the five people involved in Wednesday’s shooting.

Multiple witnesses inside the mall described the terrifying moments that forced screaming shoppers to dash for the exit doors, according to local reports.

Police recovered two guns — one belonged to the man and the other to one of the juveniles.
