'Life-Threatening' Injury After Pentagon City Mall Shooting: Cops

ARLINGTON, VA -- One person has a "life-threatening" injury after a shooting at the Fashion Centre at Pentagon City on Monday, police say.

Police were dispatched to the 800 block of Army Navy Drive at around 1:43 p.m. to a report of shots fired, and determined that two people got into a struggle during which someone pulled a gun and fired off a round, according to a tweet from the Arlington County Police Department.

One person was sent to a local hospital with a life-threatening injury.

NBC 4's Mark Seagraves tweeted out a photo of the scene on the third level of the mall's parking garage outside the Macy's entrance, and it appears there is a gun lying on the floor in the photo.

Police are continuing to investigate.
