One person was arrested Saturday in connection with a shooting incident at a South Carolina mall in which 14 people were injured, officials said, Trend reports citing ABC News.

Columbia Police said they arrested Jewayne M. Price, 22, on a charge of unlawful carrying of a pistol. Police said additional charges may be forthcoming.

Price appeared in court Sunday and a judge set a $25,000 surety bond. He is to be placed on house arrest and was ordered to wear an electronic ankle-monitoring device, the Columbia Police Department said on Twitter. The judge also restricted Price's travel from his home to work and prohibited him from contacting victims of the shooting.

Investigators said they were still seeking to identify at least two suspects who were seen with guns.

Nine people were shot and five others were injured while fleeing the mall, police said. The injured ranged in age from 15 to 73 years old, police said. Only one victim, a 73-year-old woman, continued to receive medical treatment, police said.

"All other victims have been treated and released or will be released shortly," police said in a statement.
