A man was shot in the foot inside The Mall West End in southwest Atlanta on Wednesday afternoon, police said.

The 18-year-old victim, who suffered injuries that are not considered life-threatening, told officers he got into an “altercation” with several other people inside the mall about 4:20 p.m. Wednesday, Atlanta police Officer Lisa Bender told AJC.com.

That’s when shots rang out, and the people left the scene in a black vehicle, possibly a Nissan Altima, Bender said. They were last spotted heading toward Lee Street.

The victim was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital.
