   A teenager was shot and two people were arrested Saturday evening in   
   Downtown after crowds of teenagers fought in the street at The Pike   
   Outlets, prompting the mall to close early, police said.   
      
   Around 6:30 p.m. officers responded to the area of East First Street and   
   The Promenade where they found a teenage boy suffering from a gunshot   
   wound to his lower body, Long Beach Police Department Sgt. Bradford Stein   
   said.   
      
   The teenager was taken to a local hospital in stable condition. A shell   
   casing was found at the scene, but suspect information and a motive are   
   still unknown, police said.   
      
   The shooting happened a few hours after the Long Beach Police Department   
   posted on social media that they were “aware of a large group gathering   
   planned for this afternoon in The Pike,” but did not initially specify the   
   nature of the gathering. In response, police increased patrols in the   
   area.   
      
   According to a statement released Saturday evening by the Downtown Long   
   Beach Alliance, social media posts indicated a group of teenagers planned   
   to meet up at nearby Lincoln Park to organize a “smash and grab” theft   
   event.   
      
   Stores at The Pike Outlets closed their shops around 5 p.m. out of an   
   abundance of caution to both protect employees and merchandise from the   
   crowd, Stein said. Many shops in the outlet typically stay open as late as   
   11 p.m. on Saturdays.   
      
   Just before 6 p.m., officers saw a fight between a woman and a teenage   
   girl near the outlets at Bay Street and Aquarium Way, Stein said. It’s   
   unclear what led up to the altercation, but both the girl and the woman   
   were arrested.   
      
   Video footage posted by KTLA shows the two get into a fight with dozens of   
   people and teenagers surrounding them, with some filming the scene and   
   others yelling.   
      
   Dozens of teens then ran north into the downtown core after officers   
   attempted to disperse the large group, according to the DLBA’s statement.   
      
   Soon after, the shooting occurred.   
      
   As of 9:30 p.m., police had received no reports of smash-and-grab-style   
   theft in the area, Stein said.   
      
   The investigations into both the shooting and the suspected smash-and-grab   
   attempt were ongoing. It is unknown at this time if there is a connection   
   between the two.   
      
   The Pine Avenue and Pike Outlet areas will see increased police presence   
   throughout Saturday evening, DLBA said.   
      
   This shooting comes less than a day after a group of men were shot at   
   during an altercation near Pine Avenue late Friday evening. No injuries   
   were reported and the suspect fled before police arrived on scene.   
      
   Editor’s note: The story has been updated with more information from the   
   DLBA and police.
