(ATLANTA) — The Georgia Bureau of Investigations said Tuesday night it\u2019s stepping in at the request of the Atlanta Police Department to investigate following an officer-involved shooting at an Atlanta mall earlier in the day.<\/p>\n

Jeremy Malone, 34, who the GBI has identified as a suspect, went to the Peachtree Center Mall in Atlanta, Georgia, around 2:15 p.m. ET on Tuesday. Inside the mall, he \u201cgot into an altercation with a man, and Malone pulled out a gun and shot him,\u201d the GBI alleged.<\/p>\n

The suspect also shot and injured two other people in the food court, police and the GBI said.<\/p>\n

As people fled for safety, an off-duty Atlanta police officer confronted the armed suspect and shot him, Atlanta Police Chief Darin Schierbaum said.<\/p>\n

The three victims and the suspect were treated at local hospitals. The victims are said to be in stable condition and receiving treatment, the GBI said Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

The victims were identified as a 47-year-old man, a 69-year-old woman and a 70-year-old woman, police said.<\/p>\n

Malone has since been released into the custody of the Atlanta police, officials said.<\/p>\n

The suspect’s handgun was recovered, police said.<\/p>\n

The suspect has served prison time for armed robbery, Schierbaum said.<\/p>\n

“This is an individual who should have never been possessing a gun,” Schierbaum said.<\/p>\n
