No one was hurt, but shots were fired outside the mall.
Police said three people were taken in custody.
Devonte Keith, 20, of Glenbrook Drive, was charged with possession of a stolen firearm, discharging a firearm within the city limits, carrying a concealed weapon, going armed to the terror of the public and resisting, delaying and obstructing an officer.
Two other men – 19-year-old Alvis Gentry and 27-year-old Gerald Melvin – were arrested on outstanding warrants.
Witnesses said some shoppers dove for cover. One car was hit by bullets.
