Columbus Police Sergeant James Fuqua blames an increase in juvenile crime for a shooting at Polaris Fashion Place on Monday afternoon.
“When the information eventually comes out, it will be readily apparent to people that it appears these individuals that are involved aren’t even old enough to possess a firearm at all,” Fuqua said Tuesday.
Police are investigating the second shooting at the Polaris mall in two weeks. Detectives say an argument between two groups of minors ended when one person fired shots inside the mall. No one was injured as a result of the shooting.
