Authorities were looking for a suspect after a shot was fired at Twin Jewelers around 2.30pm on Monday during what was initially described as an armed robbery, police said. The store is on the second level near the food court.
“I was outside the store waiting for customers to come in, and then we heard a big bang and then people, we just saw people jumping to the other side, and people were shouting, ‘There’s a shooter.’ , “said Madison Carter, who works, at a store just below Twin Jewelers.
According to Sierra Hignite of News 8, a person at the store jumped over a counter to find chains. When he left the store and left for the mall, the person was shot by a customer.
