Two groups of people had a shoot-out at the Hamilton Place mall on Thursday evening, as multiple shots rang out and one woman was injured.

The Chattanooga Police Department responded to the “shots fired” call shortly before 6 p.m.

Spokesperson Elisa Myzal said suspects were not in custody as of 8 p.m., although it was not considered an active shooter situation.

Myzal confirmed that one woman was injured. Police initially said the woman was shot, but later said that was not so — that she “was injured while trying to leave the area.”

“It is a non-life-threatening injury,” Myzal said. “It was initially reported as a graze wound.”
