San Bruno Police Chief Ed Barberini told reporters that he had reason to believe that there were possibly two shooters, both of whom are currently at large, according to KGO-TV.
He said the shooters "may have been shooting at each other or someone else," and that the shooting was not an active shooter situation, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
One witness captured video of one of the victims inside the mall.

As a precaution, Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) closed the San Bruno station adjacent to the mall. BART officials said police searched the trains for "possible suspects related to the situation at San Bruno," the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
"The San Bruno station and parking garage remain closed with no estimate yet for reopening," the BART Twitter account wrote just after 6 p.m. local time. "People who parked in the garage cannot access their cars at this point. We apologize for the inconvenience."
We have received reports of an active shooter at Tanforan Mall outside San Bruno station. As precaution, trains are not stopping and the station is closed. Trains are running through San Bruno. https://t.co/yukgvu5Leb
