An argument that started inside the busy Eastwood Mall ended with a drive-by shooting outside the shopping venue.

Niles Police received a call of shots fired outside Eastwood Mall just before 7 p.m. Tuesday from Mall Security and other witnesses.

Captain Ken Criswell is with the Niles Police Department. "Our cars arrived and mall security explained that they had escorted two males and a female from the mall and as they were escorting them the female was on a cell phone with somebody and that person is probably the person who drove up and did the shooting," said Criswell.

Police say a gold Yukon drove past and fired one or two rounds out of the passenger window. No one was hurt.

Joe Bell is the spokesman for the Cafaro Company. "Everybody fled the scene within a matter of seconds. Niles Police arrived very shortly thereafter. Our own security people got a good license plate number on the shooter and that's why he's sitting in the Trumbull County Jail today," said Bell.

The man accused of firing shots at the Eastwood Mall appeared in court Wednesday morning.

Stashan Williams was arrested by Youngstown Police following the incident at the mall. He is charged with improperly handling a firearm in a vehicle. His bond is set at $5,000.

An Eastwood Mall spokesperson says in addition to adequate human security, there are electronic measures in place to keep the public safe.
