The Mall at Stonecrest has reopened after a dispute between two men escalated into a shooting Thursday afternoon, officials said.

The shopping center was temporarily shut down after the incident, which resulted in a minor injury for one of the men, according to the property’s general manager.

Officers were called to the mall in reference to a non-fatal shooting, DeKalb County police spokeswoman Officer Elise Wells said. An argument between two men inside the mall led to the shooting, she said.

Mall officials said the suspect immediately fled the scene.

No other injuries were reported, and Wells did not say if anyone had been charged.
