Police searched the area around the outlet mall but were unable to find the person responsible for shooting an 18-year-old employee.
Just after 7 p.m. Saturday, police responded to a report of an armed robbery at the Springmaid-Wamsutta store at the Tanger Outlet Mall in Lincoln City.
When they arrived on scene, officers found 18-year-old Ty Pedersen conscious and alert despite a gunshot wound to the face.
People were helping Pedersen at the scene before he was transported to a local hospital and then eventually airlifted to Legacy Emanuel Hospital in Portland in serious condition.
Though only 18, Pedersen has been serving as a Lincoln City commissioner for the parks department.
Police could not comment on an exact motive but an undisclosed amount of cash was taken from the store.
