The shots hit one of the windows of Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse. 

Reuters reports that the police are investigating the case and trying to identify the shooter. They are also looking into the possible motive behind the attack. 

At the moment, there is no information about any suspects or possible motives. The restaurant was open for business at the time of the shooting. 

The police are asking anyone with information about the case to come forward and help with their investigation.

Thankfully, a restaurant employee immediately informed the police, who are now conducting their investigation.

The Ongoing Police Investigation – Recent Updates

Around 5 p.m. on Monday, a shooter opened fire inside an upscale eatery at Stanford Shopping Center, according to Palo Alto police. 

The event, which has been described as a drive-by gunshot, is being looked into by police. Fortunately, no injury was reported. 

Police added in a press statement that when they arrived on the scene almost away, they discovered that bullets had struck a sizable plate glass window close to the front door.  

In the inquiry that followed, pistol bullet casings were discovered. 

According to police, they tracked down a witness who saw the guy stick a revolver out the driver’s window of a car. 

According to authorities, the suspect’s black Chevrolet Camaro drove off north on El Camino Real. 

The witness could not describe the suspect. Later, a second abandoned vehicle shot at by gunfire was discovered parked close to the eatery.

No suspect has been apprehended despite a witness reporting that someone fired shots at the restaurant from a black Chevrolet Camaro. 

There were allegations of someone wandering around the mall while wearing a gun holster.

Aaron Ownes said, “We found a roof access room and we were just hoping the shooter wouldn’t get in there.” 

According to police, their attempts to protect customers will continue as long as this inquiry is open. 

Greg Tanaka, a councilman, stated that efforts are being made to introduce license plate readers to the city. 

“Officers discovered proof on El Camino Real that at least two bullets were fired from that location. A witness claimed to have seen the suspect run away,” PAPD added. 

“Police did not order any lockdowns as a result of this event. All areas of the mall have been examined by officers. To maintain public safety, a number of policemen were present,” according to a tweet from the police department at 5:35 p.m.

Additionally, officers heard second-hand information about a person inside the mall who they believed was wearing a holster on their belt. 

Despite a significant police presence and the claim that the area is now secure, the culprit is still not arrested.

The motive behind the shooting is still unclear to the police. 

While the scene is being examined for evidence, the 100 blocks of El Camino Real were shut down in both directions. 

The investigation is still in progress.
