At 16-year-old girl was among three people injured after a man opened fire at a shopping centre on Black Friday.

Shoppers reported ‘complete chaos’ in the Westfield Valley Fair shopping mall in San Jose, California last night.

The teenager along with a man and woman were both taken to hospital for treatment for non-life threatening injuries.

Local authorities described the incident as ‘isolated’, the Sun reported.

Sergeant Jorge Garibay said: ‘This was not targeted at unsuspecting shoppers.”

‘Something occurred between two individuals that prompted the shooting.’

‘I was terrified. We were freaking out. Everyone was just screaming’, he said.

‘It was complete chaos — it was crazy. I was making sure that the three of us were together and that we weren’t leaving each other behind.’
