OKLAHOMA CITY, Oklahoma -- Police and fire crews responded to a shooting Thursday afternoon at Penn Square Mall in Oklahoma City.

One person at the mall was injured, according to ABC affiliate KOCO. That victim was taken to an area hospital in critical condition.

"At this time, we've located one shooting victim from the incident at Penn Square Mall," police officials tweeted. "This appears to be an isolated incident... Officers still working to clear the mall."

Police said they were only aware of the one shooting victim, but they urged people to stay away from the mall.

Officers said they were searching for a man in connection with the shooting who was wearing gray sweatpants and red underwear; he was not wearing a shirt.

Police said it appeared the man pulled out a gun and shot the other person in the chest during an argument at a shoe store inside the mall.

This incident comes just a day after four people were wounded in a Texas shopping mall shooting in San Antonio.
