The mall was put on lockdown as a precaution, but it was lifted at 10 p.m. It is now believed there is no threat to the mall, which normally closes early on Sunday, but was open for extended holiday shopping.
Many people who visited the mall Sunday or shop in the mall were alarmed by the news of the shooting:
