There were other patrons in the restaurant at the time and they ran for cover.
Another source claimed the gunmen ran, and later walked, to their getaway car on the other side of the mall.
"I thought they were customers from the mall. I didn't see a gun in their possession as their hands were inside their jackets' pockets," he said.
Police are at the scene and have not yet commented on the incident.
