BLOOMINGTON, Minn. (AP) — Police say a second man has been arrested in a shooting at the Mall of America in a Minneapolis suburb last week that left two people wounded. Bloomington police say the 18-year-old St. Paul man was arrested in nearby Roseville and is being held on a possible charge of first-degree assault. A firearm was recovered. Officers arrested another St. Paul man in Roseville on Sunday afternoon on suspicion of aiding and abetting, but a county prosecutor said Wednesday that the man wouldn’t be charged. Authorities say one man was shot in the leg on the third floor of the mall Friday and another man was grazed by a bullet following an altercation.
