According to the Fairfield Police Department, officers were dispatched to the Solano Mall at 3:44 p.m. Tuesday on a report of someone in a car brandishing a handgun at another person.

Officers arrived and located the suspect vehicle in the lower level of the Macy’s parking lot. Police said a witness told them they’d seen three suspects, including one with the firearm, fleeing towards Macy’s just before officers arrived.
