Mall reopens as police probe reports of weekend gunfire
RALEIGH, N.C. — A busy North Carolina shopping mall reopened for business Sunday as police continued investigating reports of gunfire that sent shoppers running in fear or left them hiding inside stores a day earlier.
Police said they haven’t confirmed what really happened but say there were no reports of people being wounded or of shell casings found inside the Crabtree Valley Mall.
Pandemonium erupted Saturday afternoon and after several shoppers said they heard what sounded like gunfire.
While some people reported seeing a gun, “no one has reported that we had a gun fired, so we are looking at all possibilities,” Raleigh Police Chief Cassandra Deck-Brown told reporters.
