BALTIMORE– A seven-year-old girl was hospitalized Saturday after being shot at a mall in Baltimore.
Baltimore police say the girl was shot Saturday afternoon at Mondawmin Mall. According to police, two groups got into an argument at the mall and an unknown man fired a shot as he ran away, hitting the girl in the upper body.
The girl, who was at the mall with her mother, was not the intended victim, officials said.
Police said she was taken to the hospital with multiple gunshot wounds and was in critical but stable condition Saturday evening.
Authorities were searching for the suspect on Sunday.
In December, a man delivering packages at the mall was shot in the ankle in the mall’s parking lot when he became trapped between two groups of boys who were shooting at each other.
