A 14-year-old boy was injured in a shooting that might have been accidentally self-inflicted at the Mall at Stonecrest on Saturday afternoon, authorities said.

Officers responded to a shooting call about 2:20 p.m., DeKalb County police spokesman Lt. Shane Smith said. The boy, whose name has not been released, was taken to a hospital with a non-life-threatening injury, police said.

A woman also was taken to the hospital with minor injuries sustained as shoppers ran from the scene, police said.
