Cobb Police have arrested one adult and two juveniles after a fight broke out at Cumberland Mall Sunday that was initially reported as an active shooter incident.
Officer Aaron Wilson said in a release that “several 911 calls described males wearing masks running through the mall and allegedly shooting” in the food court area early Sunday evening.
But police said a part-time security officer saw no victims or armed individuals when arriving at the scene, although officers from several law enforcement agencies responded.
The three individuals were taken into custody and “a blood trail was discovered in front of several stores, prompting further investigation” of a possible stabbing, Wilson said.
He said that surveillance video footage showed that a fistfight had broken out, and that one of the persons involved had been bleeding.
Wilson said that no firearms or knives were discovered and no hospitals reported any injuries related to the incident.
Cobb Police did not release the names of those who were arrested, but said that it “would like to assure the public that there is no ongoing threat to safety at Cumberland Mall.”
