Authorities responded to a shooting at Augusta Mall in Richmond County, Georgia, on Tuesday afternoon after a fight escalated into gunfire around 1:25 p.m. One person sustained non-life-threatening injuries, and deputies arrested two suspects while searching for a third. The incident, the third shooting at the mall in two years, led to evacuation and indefinite closure amid rising gun violence in the area.

So it was a fight that escalated into a gunfight. The third shooting at the mall in two years?
