One civilian was injured when he was shot in the leg. Police said the alleged shooter apparently knew the victim and intentionally shot him. The shooting was the result of an altercation, according to police.

The suspect was arrested by police, who still have not released his name.

"It was waves of chaos, bedlam," said News 5's Frank Wiley, who was shopping with his children when the shooting occurred.
