The Oxford Police Department is investigating a shooting inside Quintard Mall on Saturday.
Chief Bill Partridge said one male had a non-life-threatening gunshot wound, and he drove himself to the hospital.
The shooting occurred during a new sneaker release event. Police said two people brandished firearms.
"The reckless decision to introduce firearms into a crowded retail environment over a sneaker release is deeply concerning and will not be tolerated," Partridge said. "We are fortunate that this incident did not result in more serious injuries to innocent bystanders."
The individuals involved fled the scene. Police are seeking warrants.
"This type of activity in our city will not be tolerated," Partridge added. "You will be arrested and prosecuted."
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Oxford Police Department.
