DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — A 14-year-old boy is recovering after he accidentally shot himself inside The Mall at Stonecrest over the weekend. Customers had to evacuate while police figured out where the shots came from, and whether or not it was safe to let shoppers back in. When Channel 2â€ēs Tyisha Fernandes asked police about charges for the teen, they didn't say no but they didn't say yes either. Fernandes went into the mall Monday and spoke to some employees who couldn't speak on camera. They said the gun was huge, and wondered why a 14-year-old would need a gun inside a shopping mall.
