RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Police in North Carolina have responded to a shooting at a busy mall in an affluent area of Raleigh.
Multiple news outlets report that police in Raleigh were working to secure Crabtree Valley Mall on Saturday afternoon after gunshots were fired inside.
The station says no suspects have been taken into custody.
The number of injured is unknown, although emergency personnel apart from police were called to the scene. Helicopters buzzed overhead.
John Riggleman and Kristin Warring told The Associated Press that they were heading to a video game store when they heard shots coming from the mall’s food court. They ran into the store with dozens of others before the doors of the mall were locked.
Warring said she heard an additional series of shots.
Police told them they could leave the store at about 3 p.m.
An interstate exit to reach the mall was closed.
