MURRAY, Utah -- Two people are injured, and three suspects are wanted following a shooting at the Fashion Place Mall on Sunday afternoon.

Murray police said the shooting was "possibly gang-related," and were looking for three people who fled the mall in light-colored hoodies or sweatshirts and dark pants.

Two people were wounded. Murray Police Det. Kenny Bass told reporters that a man and a woman in their 20s were taken to Intermountain Medical Center. The man was in critical condition, and the woman was taken to the hospital in serious condition, was treated, then released from the hospital.

"We do not know their identities, we have descriptions of them," he said of the suspects.

Police and mall officials said the shooting happened outside the mall's east side, but witnesses and video posted on social media recorded loud bangs and people running inside the mall.

Images shared with FOX 13 showed police officers with guns drawn running through the mall as shoppers watched.
