FREMONT, Calif. (KGO) -- Five suspects were arrested late last night after a short chase following a robbery where shots were fired outside of the Target Store at the Fremont Hub, police said.

Police say they received multiple calls at 11:38 p.m. of shots fired outside the store. Multiple suspects had gotten into an altercation with security guards in front of the store after being confronted about stealing items, including video games, authorities said.

A loaded firearm and the stolen items from the store were recovered in the car, police said.

There were no reported injuries.

Police say they collected several shell casings from the parking lot area and interviewed witnesses and victims before clearing the scene. At least one suspect is a juvenile and the other age ranges of the suspects are 18 to 19-years-old.
