On Monday, police said the shooting was caused by an altercation that took place inside the mall which then spilled out into the parking lot. 

That’s when police say a man pulled out a gun, fired several rounds and hit another younger man believed to be in his late teens.

The victim was taken to University of Louisville Hospital where he was listed in critical condition. Police say the suspect is still at large, and have not provided a description of him at this time.
