Mall of America was temporarily locked down after two people were shot on New Year’s Eve… Two people were shot at the Mall of America, one of the biggest malls in the US, on New Year’s Eve.
According to local TV station KSTP, two people were shot on Friday around 5 p.m. Eastern time at the Mall of America, which is located in Bloomington, Minnesota, just outside of the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul.
Some stores were in lockdown, KSTP reported, but the full mall was not. A producer from another local TV station, WCCO, said that while shopping at the Apple Store, the store’s management asked her and other customers to move to the back of the store.
The scene is no longer an active shooting, and the mall is back to normal operation, according to a tweet by the Bloomington Police. “We are no longer looking for the suspect at the MOA. Will update media with time and location soon.”
