Mall of America shooting: Mall closing for night after shooter flees (FOX 9)

A shooting at Mall of America sent the mall into lockdown on Thursday afternoon, with police calling it an isolated incident.

But we have a lot of other security apparatus in place including highly trained officers, including security cameras, including other technology that we use that the guest never sees, that we implement to keep them safe." We are committed to maintaining an unprecedented state law enforcement presence in the Twin Cities until we put a stop to this rise in crime." In that incident, someone opened fire on the third floor of the mall. But that wasn't the case in December when another shooting at the Mall on New Year's Eve left two men with injuries. Following shots fired at the mall, police spent hours searching the Best Western hotel on Killebrew Drive, on the south side of the mall. Bloomington Police Chief Booker Hodges says it appears the shooting started with a conflict between two groups at the cash registers inside the Nike store.
