BALTIMORE– A 7-year-old girl was hospitalized Saturday after being shot at a Baltimore shopping mall.
Baltimore police said the girl was shot Saturday afternoon at Mondawmin Mall. Police say two groups at the mall got into an altercation and an unidentified man fired a shot as he fled, hitting the girl in the upper body.
The girl, who was at the mall with her mother, was not the intended victim, authorities 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 Sunday.
In December, a man delivering packages to the mall was shot in the ankle in the mall parking lot when he found himself trapped between two groups of boys who were shooting at each other.
