BLOOMINGTON, Minn., (Valley News Live) -Police say the scene has been secured now that all shoppers have been asked to leave. The Mall will be closed for the remainder of the evening.
Police in Minnesota confirmed that gunshots were fired at the Mall of America in suburban Minneapolis, but said no victim has been found.
They are still searching for a suspect.
Video posted to social media showed what appeared to be a man shouting as he walked near the complex’s Nike store, with at least three apparent gunshots.
The mall, which opened in 1992, is the largest in the U.S. and is a tourist destination and community gathering spot.
