ISTANBUL, Sept. 12 (Xinhua) -- A gunfight in a shopping mall left six people wounded on late Sunday in Istanbul's Sariyer district, local media reported on Monday.
"After the gunfight incident that broke out between two groups with a prior history of animosity, a total of six citizens, namely five foreign individuals and one Turkish citizen, were transferred to nearby hospitals for treatment," said local officials in a statement.
One person among the wounded was in critical condition.
The suspects were reportedly still on the loose, while law enforcement personnel were trailing them, the statement said.
The two groups ran into each other at the shopping center's food court, when two people drew their guns and started shooting around after a quarrel. Panic ensued in the food court, with people running to exits as the sound of gunshots echoed inside the mall, it added.
