The Madison Police Department is investigating after a single shot was fired inside West Towne Mall late Friday morning.

Officers were dispatched to the main entrance of the mall, located off of Gammon Road, at 11:36 a.m.

Video shows two people near a cell phone store when one of them pulled out a gun and fired toward another person across the hallway. It is unclear if this person was injured during this incident.

The involved individuals ran out of the mall and got inside a vehicle. 

No injured people were found at the mall. And no people suffering from a gunshot wound have shown up at local hospitals. 

Officers and detectives spoke with mall employees and witnesses and collected digital evidence. At this time, this evidence will not be released as to not jeopardize the investigation.

A K-9 unit was brought in to help search for physical evidence. 

The mall followed its safety protocols when this incident occurred. Employees shut down businesses and moved customers into safe areas of their stores. Many stores have reopened as of 1:30 p.m.
