The shooting at the Downtown Norfolk mall Monday happened around 8:20 p.m. Police arrived to find a 56-year-old woman suffering from a gunshot wound. She was taken to the hospital and is expected to be ok. Norfolk Police Chief Larry Boone said the woman was a bystander.
The other victim, a 23-year-old man, went to the hospital on his own before police arrived. He was also treated for a non life-threatening gunshot wound.
