ORLANDO -- Two people remain on the loose after an attempted mugging at Fashion Square Mall Tuesday night.

Police said a woman got off a bus at a stop near the Bank of America at around 8:30 p.m. Tuesday. The woman was walking across the mall parking lot, when three men, including one armed with a handgun, tried to rob her.

A bystander saw what was happening, pulled out his own gun and exchanged gunfire with one of the muggers.

The suspects ran, but one was later caught. That suspect was wounded, but did not realize it until police caught him.

The suspect's injuries were not life-threatening.

The mugging victim was not injured.
