MURRAY, Utah — One person was injured following a shooting Saturday at the Fashion Place mall in Murray that forced shoppers to shelter in place.

The incident took place in a parking lot on the east side of the mall. Police believe there was a "targeted disagreement" between two groups of people, and Murray Police say several "persons of interest" are being interviewed by detectives to determine what happened.

According to police, the unidentified person who was injured suffered minor injuries to the leg and was taken to the hospital.

Police said there is no threat to the public's safety, and confirmed that it was an isolated incident between the two groups.

Yellow police tape could be seen in the parking lot near the Container Store.

Video and photos sent to FOX 13 News showed customers sheltering in the back room of the Apple store. Store employees could be heard giving shoppers updates on the situation before the customers were released through the store's back door.

The mall has since reopened after what police called a brief lockdown. A small area of the parking lot where the incident occurred will remain blocked off due to the ongoing investigation.

No names of the people involved have been released.

The incident comes five years to the day that two people were injured in a shooting at the mall.
