At approximately 4:30 p.m., the JPD received a phone call that there was a woman shot at the mall, said Capt. Billy Houston with the Jacksonville Police Department.
"We were able to determine through a preliminary investigation that there was a business owner who was leaving his business ... he spoke with (a couple patrons) and he had a gun in a case, and the gun fell to the ground and an accidental discharge (occurred), where the gun accidentally discharged," Houston said.
The victim was transported to Onslow Memorial Hospital where she is being treated at this time. Houston said he is not sure of the extent of the injuries.
The incident occurred in a service entrance hallway, not in the public portion of the mall, according to Houston.
Further information is not yet available.
