Police responded to the incident at 1:18 p.m., according to a statement from the Cobb County Police Department. Police determined that it was an isolated incident, and those involved knew each other, the statement said.

A suspect was identified but fled the scene, and police told CNN they are working to locate him. The victim was taken to a hospital for treatment.

The mall was temporarily closed, but police said it is expected to reopen later in the day.
