According to the San Bruno Police Department, at 3:56 p.m. Tuesday, they received a call of shots being fired at the Shops at Tanforan. Once police arrived, they located two victims who were suffering from gunshot wounds.
"Any shooting is a tragic, silly, stupid event," said San Bruno Police Chief Ed Barberini. "When you do it in a shopping mall or any type of area where there is going to be a lot of people, shows a true disregard and it's a senseless act."
Police said this appears to not be a random act and that there may have been two separate shooters that were shooting at each other or at someone else.

"I believe there was some type of motive or some type of intent where the person shooting knew what or who they were shooting at," said Barberini.
