NORTHRIDGE, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Police responded to a shooting at the Northridge Fashion Center Friday evening, but no injuries were reported.

Officers responded to the scene after a report of shots fired around 5:49 p.m., according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

Aerial footage from AIR7 HD showed a large plate glass window at H2O Sushi & Izakaya restaurant was shattered.

It's unclear where gunfire erupted, but police say the shooting stemmed from a "dispute between several juveniles."

The area was cordoned off with crime-scene tape, and officers were seen looking into the trunk of a nearby car that had apparently been hit with a bullet.

The mall was not evacuated, and no injuries were reported.

"LAPD officers have been, and will continue to be deployed at this mall and many other shopping centers throughout the City of Los Angeles during this busy holiday shopping season," the department said.

Four to five juveniles were detained and later released. No arrest has been made.

The mall was busy with customers for Black Friday, one of the busiest shopping days of the year.
