Baton Rouge Chaos: 10 Injured After Gunfire Erupts Inside Mall of Louisiana

Panic broke out Thursday afternoon at the Mall of Louisiana after an argument between two groups reportedly escalated into gunfire near the food court.

Authorities say at least 10 people were injured, with two victims listed in critical condition. Police believe the shooting was targeted and not a random attack, but several innocent bystanders may have been caught in the middle.

Suspects fled the scene and no arrests had been announced as of the latest update. A large police presence responded quickly, and the mall was evacuated while investigators searched for those responsible.
