WBRC-TV reports a man was hospitalized with serious injuries Tuesday after someone shot him outside a Foot Locker store at the Western Hills Mall.

Fairfield Police Chief Leon Davis Jr. says officers took a suspect into custody. He says the victim appeared to have been “targeted” and that the two men involved may have had a previous disagreement.

Witnesses said they saw two men having an argument at the store before one of them left and returned with a gun. Bystander Valdez Jackson said he heard three shots.

The names of the victim and suspect were not immediately released.
