Police on Tuesday arrested two more juveniles, including the suspected shooter, in connection with a nonfatal shooting at the Maplewood Mall on Sunday.

The arrests were made Tuesday morning with the help of St. Paul police, according to a news release from the Maplewood Police Department. Two juveniles were also arrested at the shooting scene Sunday.

The shooting stemmed from a physical fight among a group of people at the mall. Police said Tuesday an adult male was shot in the hip, after saying Sunday that a juvenile was shot. The injury was not life-threatening.

The suspected shooter has been booked into the Ramsey County jail on suspicion of first-degree assault and illegal possession of a firearm, police said. All four juveniles face tentative charges of rioting.
