The Parks is no strip mall. It's huge and has a "campus" of outlying businesses and restaurants, theaters, etc.
Arlington police say an argument at the food court at the Parks Mall led to a fight and then a shooting Wednesday night.
The shooting happened around 6:40 p.m. on the walkway between the mall and the mall parking garage, according to Arlington police.
Witnesses tell FOX 4 that during the fight one of the suspects lifted up his shirt and showed off more than one gun.

19-year-old Darryl Eugene Patterson shot the victim 2-3 times in the leg but is expected to survive.
Witnesses who saw Patterson and two others running across the street also called the police. They said a young man tried to throw a gun onto the roof of Car Toys across from the mall.

About that time Arlington Police say the suspects called for an Uber Driver.
“As the Uber driver leaves eastbound on Arbrook Boulevard, responding units see the vehicle that was being relayed to us by citizens,” explained Arlington Police Lt. Chris Cook. “We were able to get a traffic stop on the vehicle there at Arbrook and High Point. Obviously, the Uber driver not knowing what’s going on, he immediately pulled over. We did a high-risk traffic stop. We detained three individuals that were in that vehicle.”

Police say the victim and his wife were the ones who called for an Uber driver. When the driver showed up, Patterson and his friends got in the Uber instead.
The Uber driver was shortly detained but later released.
Patterson is charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and is being held on a $50,000 bond.
Patterson's friends were also detained but were later released.
Authorities immediately secured the scene after the shooting. The mall was never evacuated.
