It happened around 2:39 p.m. in the parking lot of the store located in Freedom Square Shopping Center in the Germantown section of the city.

"It was just gunshots and people were just running," said Timina Hughes, who was home across the street when the shooting occurred. "I looked out the window because I'm up on the third floor and I see the young man across the street on the ground."

Police say a 23-year-old man, two 19-year-old men, and a 20-year-old man were injured in the shooting. They were all transported to the hospital and currently listed in stable condition.

Police say all five victims were shot by a suspect in a moving vehicle believed to be a white Chevy Impala.

According to reporter David Spunt, a vehicle matching the description of the shooter's car was found a mile from the crime scene.
