Search For Gunman After NJ Mall Chaos, Shooting At Jersey Gardens

A man was shot in New Jersey on Black Friday, creating a chaotic schene at a shopping center, officials said. As of Saturday evening, the suspect had not yet been caught.

The victim, who was not identified, was shot in the wrist near the Marshalls and Tommy Hilfiger stores at The Mills at Jersey Gardens around 8 p.m. on Friday, Elizabeth spokeswoman Kelly Martins told Patch.

The mall was evacuated after the gunfire. Videos show people running through the Elizabeth mall's concourse and out the front door after gunfire erupted, according to Martins.

The victim was not cooperating on identifying the suspect, Martins said. Police are reviewing camera footage, Martins said.

The mall had been open since 10 a.m. Thursday with approximately 25,000 shoppers throughout that time and was set to close at 10 p.m. Friday.

Carli Disla told reporters she was with her boyfriend and their 6-week-old daughter in a Cohoes fashion store when they saw people running.

"They were yelling, 'Hide, everyone, hide! They are shooting!'" Disla, 22, told The Associated Press in an interview via Twitter. She and her boyfriend grabbed the baby out of her car seat, ran to the back of the store and hid in its receiving area.

Anyone with information should contact the Elizabeth Police at 908-558-2111.

Patch will have more information as it develops. Here are other videos and reactions at the scene:
