Police in San Bruno released new details about Tuesday’s shooting at the Shops at Tanforan mall.

Officers responded to reports of gunshots just before 4 p.m. and began evacuating hundreds of shoppers.

Police found the two male teenage victims on the second floor of the mall. One had a gunshot wound to the abdomen and another had a gunshot wound to the leg. Officers started treating the teens at the scene, and by 4:22 p.m. both were evacuated and taken to a hospital for treatment.

Witnesses described the suspects and where they went to officers, and multiple teams were deployed to search the area, but the shooters and their weapons were not found.
