Las Vegas police said Tuesday that they have made an arrest in a Memorial Day shooting in the Fashion Show mall.

The Metropolitan Police Department did not name the person arrested and said on Twitter additional details would be released Wednesday.

Just after 6 p.m. Monday, a gunshot was reported inside the mall on the Strip, 3200 Las Vegas Blvd. South, prompting a heavy Metro response and evacuations.

Police said Monday that the preliminary investigation revealed a fight occurred and a shot was fired as it broke up.

No one was injured, but police evacuated the mall as a precaution.

It remained unclear what preceded the initial fight or where in the mall that the fight occurred, Metro spokesman Aden OcampoGomez said.

Police blocked entrances around the mall for hours. Some officers dressed in tactical gear gathered near police vehicles that lined Fashion Show Drive on the north side of the shopping center.

A request for comment from the mall was declined.
