Two teenage boys, 14 and 16, were shot inside a busy Brooklyn mall on Monday during a feud at a sneaker store, police said
The victims were among a group of six young males who got into an argument with three suspects who were shopping at the store inside Kings Plaza Shopping Center in Mill Basin around 2:30 p.m., cops said.
Amid the dispute, a 19-year-old male suspect who was standing near the cash register pulled out a gun and fired roughly 10 shots at the other group, striking the two victims, police said.
The 14-year-old boy was shot in the leg, police said, and the 16-year-old suffered a graze wound to his leg. Their injuries were considered non-life threatening.
Both groups fled the mall after the shooting. The victims were located by police across the street from the shopping center.
Responding officers canvassing the area for the three suspects found them at the nearby intersection of Avenue O And East 53rd Street, Chief Michael Kemper, commanding officer of Patrol Borough Brooklyn South, told reporters at a press briefing.
Two guns were recovered from the group and all three suspects were arrested. Charges against them are pending, Kemper said.
Kemper said the 19-year-old shooting suspect was arrested last November in Brooklyn for allegedly possessing four guns.

He gotta be, just upping a gun and shooting in broad daylight in a mall full of people. That's the very definition of retarded.
I worked there for years, on second thought I was stealing a bunch of shyt from there too so maybe it was. 
So he was arrested for possessing 4 guns just in November? They gotta start punishing these criminals so that they DONT wanna do anymore crime.
