The shopping mall was on lockdown, and many shoppers posted messages of Facebook and Twitter saying they were locked inside stores.

The mall was crowded with holiday shoppers when the reports of shots were first posted.

Shoppers who weren’t locked in stores said they were getting to their cars to leave the mall.

The first 911 call came to police at 4:35 p.m.
