(FAYETTEVILLE) -- As Black Friday shoppers gathered at a mall in Cumberland County during the overnight hours on Friday, a fight broke out and gunshots were fired.  No one was injured but Fayetteville police and Cumberland County investigators are still looking for two suspects.

"It's scary because I have young children and my niece was with me, so what if one of those bullets had hit her," eyewitness Eddrena Wiggins told ABC 11.

Authorities say after the fight started outside the food court at Cross Creek Mall, a shot was fired at around 2:00 a.m. Friday.  The suspect that was fired upon took off running into the mall and more shots rang out, according to witnesses.

Mall management immediately ordered a lock down of all stores in the mall after learning of the exchange of gunfire outside the food court. The lock down continued for about 45 minutes, then all stores were reopened.
