Hollywood And Highland Mall Temporarily Shut Down After 1 Person Shot

HOLLYWOOD (CBSLA) -- One person was injured on Monday evening in a shooting in Hollywood.

The shooting happened just before 5 p.m. at Hollywood & Highland shopping mall.

The fire department cleared the scene but police were still out and about searching the area for the suspect, a male with dreadlocks and wearing black clothing, who was on the loose.

As of around 7 p.m., a suspect was taken into custody.

The male victim was struck several times in the abdomen and was in stable condition at last check.
