According to Cobb County Officer Sarah O’Hara, an argument in the mall’s food court escalated into gunfire.

Cobb County Police quickly blocked all entrances to the mall property when they arrived.

The mall was closed as officers searched for the shooting suspect, O’Hara said.

In the rush to respond to the scene, O’Hara said a Cobb County motorcycle officer received minor injuries when his unit struck a vehicle nearby.
