The initial investigation shows the shooting to be a drive by style incident, but they are still looking at every possibility
Concord Police say they received a call about a fight near Dave and Busters around 8:40 p.m. and shots were fired a few seconds later.
Police don’t believe the teenagers were the intended targets of the shooting. Two boys younger than 16 were shot and taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Cabarrus County EMS says those two victims are in stable condition.
Police said the girl and two boys were in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Concord police said initial reports indicate the shooting started as a fight in the Dave and Buster’s parking lot.
They have not said if any arrests have been made or released possible suspect information.
A mall employee described hundreds of people running through the mall and the parking lot in an attempt to get away.
Another witness said he took off his belt to use as a tourniquet for a teenage boy who was shot in the arm.
“The police and sheriff came with their guns drawn because they didn’t know if it was an active shooter,” witness Jason Warren said. “It’s sad you can’t come out to a restaurant and have a nice, peaceful evening.”
Authorities said they are investigating the possibility the shooting is connected to a deadly shooting Saturday evening in a Concord neighborhood.
No other information has been released.
