SCRANTON -- Police are investigating gunshots fired outside a shopping mall in Lackawanna County.
Scranton police officers were called to the Viewmont Mall just before 7 p.m. Monday.
Detectives say witnesses told them two vehicles, a minivan and a blue sports car, were chasing each other through the parking lot. Then shots were fired from the blue sports car at the minivan.
Scranton police were seen putting markers down by spent shell casings and investigators tell us a total of four casings were collected.
The commotion startled shoppers inside the mall.
"We were shopping in the mall and then we came out and heard a couple of gunshots fired and we came out an asked the police what happened and they said that there was a few shots and we asked if they caught them yet and they said they didn't," said Matthew Morales of Dickson City.
Police say the two vehicles took off before officers arrived. They don't believe anyone was hit by the bullets.
Peter Flynn from New Hampshire was on his way to a restaurant near the mall when he saw all the police activity.
"The Mexican restaurant across the street from the mall here, as we pulled up, it seemed like the situation was probably less than an hour old and we saw an area taped off down there and I counted 10 police cars at the time," he said.
Anyone with information on the two vehicles involved in this shooting is asked to contact Scranton police.
