RICHMOND HEIGHTS • Two people were shot Tuesday night across the street from the Galleria shopping mall in Richmond Heights.

The shooting was about 7:30 p.m. at Galleria Parkway and Brentwood Boulevard, also near The Boulevard shopping center, and police shut part of the intersection down for about an hour and a half as they investigated and processed shell casings on the street.

Conditions of the victims weren't available, but police said they were stable.

Five people were in custody after a foot pursuit after the shooting. Det. Sgt. Gerry Rohr said at the scene that he didn't know their involvement or whether the shooter or shooters were among them.

Just before the shooting, there had been a disturbance at the food court in the Galleria and some people had been kicked out, though Rohr said he didn't know if that was directly related to the shooting.
