Richmond County Sheriff’s Office deputies are at the Augusta Mall after reports of a shooting at Dillard’s.
An Augusta Chronicle reporter on scene witnessed people running out of the mall at about 1:45 p.m. Sunday.
Minutes later, nearly a dozen patrol cars, two ambulances and five Central EMS SUVs responded to the scene, according to our reporter.
A Dillard’s employee at the scene said she started hiding behind the counter when she heard there was a shooting inside the store. Multiple employees said they hid inside a bathroom.
Investigators are on their way to the scene, according to the sheriff’s office.
“[The] investigation is in its early stages and there is no additional information available at this time,” according to a news release from the sheriff’s office issued early afternoon Sunday.
