Three people were arrested in connection with a Saturday afternoon shooting outside Hamilton Place Mall that involved bullets striking multiple vehicles.

One person whose vehicle was hit posted online, "Drive by shooting at Hamilton Place. Thank God we were not in our car. Our truck was hit twice. One of the bullets went through the window where Caroline sits and went through driver's window where Josh sits. Twenty five bullet rounds were found so far in parking lot. Not one person was hit. The people across from us ran for cover behind their vehicle. A bullet landed in the baby's car seat in their car."
