A woman was shot inside a store at Easton Town Center on Thursday during a fight over a man, Columbus police said.

Daneshia Elmore was taken to OhioHealth Grant Medical Center in stable condition after she was shot in the upper chest about 2:15 p.m. in an upstairs room in the Victoria's Secret PINK store, 4070 The Strand East, police said.

Anikqua A.E. Williams, 22, was identified by several witnesses as the shooter and taken into custody within minutes, police said.

"I shot her," Williams told police as they approached to arrest her, according to an affidavit filed Thursday night in Franklin County Municipal Court.

Williams was being held on a charge of felonious assault in the Franklin County jail. She is scheduled to make her initial appearance today in municipal court.

Columbus Police Deputy Chief Thomas Quinlan said the women knew each other but did not expect to see each other at the lingerie and casual apparel store, which was full of shoppers at the time. Quinlan said "some bad blood" existed between the women, apparently over a man.

A physical confrontation occurred during which Williams shot Elmore, the affidavit indicates.

"It's not anyone being randomly targeted," Quinlan said during a news conference at Easton Town Center.

Investigators were conducting interviews and reviewing surveillance video that might have captured the shooting.

Williams had a concealed weapon permit to carry the handgun. Easton has signs posted throughout the property saying firearms are prohibited, Quinlan said.

In February 2011, there was another shooting at the shopping area in the mixed-use commercial, residential and business center. Andrew Kelley was sentenced to 12 years in prison for shooting and killing his 15-year-old brother.
