It happened just before 7 p.m. in a mall parking garage, according to Arlington Police Spokesman Lt. Chris Cook.

Cook said the victim was with his wife near Macy's Department Store in the mall when he got into an altercation with the shooter.

The men eventually parted ways, but the victim and his wife were approached by the man again; this time, he was accompanied by two other men.

The man pulled out a gun and shot the victim multiple times in the legs, Cook said.

Lt. Chris Cook with Arlington police discusses the shooting that took place outside The Parks Mall at Arlington Wednesday night.

A witness told police they saw the three men running, with one of them tossing a gun onto the roof of a nearby store.

The men then made their get-away in an Uber car.

Soon after, witnesses led officers to the car.

Police pulled the vehicle over and arrested the shooter. He has been charged with two counts of aggravated assault.

The other two men were detained for questioning, but have been released pending further investigation.

The Uber driver is not facing any charges because he was unaware that the men in his car were wanted by police.

The victim was transported to Medical Center of Arlington, where he is being treated for non-life threatening injuries.

The identities of those involved have not been released.
