The victim of a shooting that prompted the evacuation of the Westfield Culver City mall Thursday night is hospitalized in critical condition.

The man suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was taken to a hospital, according to the Culver City Police Department.

The shooting was reported at about 7:40 p.m. and occurred inside the mall near a JCPenney store when the suspect brandished a gun and fired at the victim during a three-man dispute, police said.

The suspects, who remain at large, were last seen running towards the mall’s exits.

Police evacuated the mall and established a perimeter to conduct a search for them.

Anyone with information about this crime is asked to call the Culver City Police Department watch commander at 310-253-6202.
