Authorities told WSB-TV Channel 2 that the shooting happened just before 3 p.m. Saturday in the food court of Greenbriar Mall in southwest Atlanta.

Investigators said the men were arguing over the woman when things turned violent.

"I was sitting in the food court on my lunch break and I heard a shot, then I heard 'pow, pow, pow' ... three more shots and everybody ran," said Catherine Hutchins, a mall employee.

A police spokesperson told Channel 2 that the 19-year-old female victim was wounded in the leg. Authorities said she is two months pregnant. The woman was transported to an area hospital where her identity and condition is unknown.

Investigators also said another person was shot, but haven’t released more details.

Authorities said the shooter fled the area.

"The shooting is not a random act," said Atlanta police officer Eric Schwartz.
