Gunfire erupted at Haywood Mall in Greenville, South Carolina, the state’s largest mall, on Saturday afternoon, and a teenager has been arrested.

The incident took place around 1 p.m.

An on-duty Greenville police officer heard the gunfire and responded immediately to find two victims wounded at the scene.

Officers quickly determined the shooting was not random but stemmed from a personal argument between individuals who knew each other.

Two people suffered gunshot wounds during the exchange.

A woman who was an uninvolved bystander was shot in the foot, while a man was hit in the shoulder and neck area.

Both victims were transported to a nearby hospital and remain in stable condition.

Videos from the scene were posted to social media.
