Two of three people shot inside a Pittsburgh-area mall remained in critical condition Monday, but were expected to survive.
Officials at AHN Forbes Hospital in Monroeville said that 20-year-old Davon Jones and 53-year-old Thomas Singleton likely face additional surgery.
Allegheny County police said 17-year-old Tarod Thornhill, of Penn Hills, shot Jones during a confrontation Saturday night in the Macy's store at the Monroeville Mall. Singleton and his wife, Mary, were wounded. She remained in fair condition Monday. Their son was nearby but not wounded.
Thornhill was arrested Sunday morning. Police said they matched online photos of him to images from store surveillance video. Police said Jones was Thornhill's intended target.
Thornhill is jailed without bond and charged with aggravated assault and other crimes.
Sunday, the mall announced it would institute a "Youth Escort Policy" that would bar unaccompanied minors from the mall on weekend nights.
The policy will go into effect at the end of February and apply to the hours after 6 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. Anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian who is at least 21 years old. Teens who work at the mall during those times will be issued identification.

"The conduct of unsupervised youth and young adults at Monroeville Mall has created an uncomfortable atmosphere for mall visitors and an increasing safety challenge," the announcement said.
In late December, hundreds of teenagers gathered at the mall and several fights broke out. The fights caused local officials and mall administration to agree on a plan to increase security there. Police planned to have an increased presence at the mall, said Stacey Keating, a spokeswoman for the mall.
