The shooting happened Sunday afternoon where police say there was an altercation between two men in the mall's JCPenny area. During this, they say multiple shots were fired.
They said one of the men, a 16-year-old Lancaster resident, was carrying a gun and there was a struggle. After that, other people got involved and another shot was fired.
An uninvolved bystander, after hearing the shots, joined the altercation and later fired their gun and struck one of the suspects. Police mention he was carrying his gun legally.

Police say six shots total were fired from the two guns. Both weapons were recovered by police.
The original armed suspect was hospitalized after being shot and is now in police custody. Two men and one woman were who got involved with the altercation were also injured but are expected to survive.
The question now is whether the bystander, who police say is a 50-year-old man who's been cooperative, will be charged for firing his legally owned gun at the shooting suspect. Park City Center currently has a no-gun policy on the property.
