“I leave [my chidlren] at the play area while I go check out makeup at Sephora. No more than 5 minutes later, I just see everyone running and screaming ‘shooter’. My heart literally sank as I ran back to find Jose and Izel. We ran into a JCPenney where the locked the mall doors and everyone left out the back…scariest seconds of my life,” wrote Claudia Sandoval on Facebook.

According to the CCPD, no shots were fired and no arrests were made.

The mall was briefly on closed down as CCPD carried out an investigation. No injuries have been reported.
