CHESAPEAKE, Va. - There are no injuries or fatalities after a shooting was reported at Greenbrier Mall Saturday night, police said.

Just before 8:15 p.m., Chesapeake police said they were called to the 1400 block of Greenbrier Parkway after a shooting was reported in the parking lot. Before police got there, the suspected shooter left the area on foot.

According to Chesapeake police, investigators found a crime scene near the old Sears building, but there were no injuries or fatalities.

The mall was evacuated as a precaution, police said. The shooting is believed to be isolated, and an investigation is underway.

City officials emphasized there was no active shooter.

The incident comes less than a month after a mass shooting at a Walmart in Chesapeake. Six people were killed and several others were hurt on Nov. 22 when an employee opened fire in the store on Sam's Circle before turning the gun on himself.

Anyone with information about the incident Saturday night is asked to call the Crime Line at 1-888-LOCK-U-UP.
