In a statement police have said they are investigating reports that at least three gunmen were involved. No arrests have been made and the suspects remain at large.
Sources have said a second shooting may ahave taken place at a metro station nearby, however this remains unverified.
A major police operation is underway in the area.
The shopping centre has been evacuated and the surrounding area is sealed off.
Shop staff members told Reuters that they remain inside and are still hiding.
Videos posted on social media by eyewitnesses appear to show people fleeing the scene.

The OEZ is the largest shopping centre in Bavaria.
In a tweet, Munich Police wrote: "Avoid public places. The situation is still unclear."
The area has been on high alert and undergoing increased security following an incident on Monday in which a teenager stabbed a number of people with an axe. Isis claimed responsibility for the attack on Monday.
