Person Shot in New Jersey Mall, Sending Stores into Lockdown
A person was shot inside a New Jersey mall Friday night, and police are looking for both the victim and the suspect, a law enforcement source says.
The victim was shot on the third-floor food court at Newport Mall in Jersey City Friday night, the source said, sending stores into lockdown and shoppers rushing out.
It's not clear how badly injured the victim is because police are still looking for that person, as well as the person who fired the shot.
People at the mall were tweeting about being locked inside stores at the mall.
"I never thought I'd get a call from my mom saying she's locked in a store because of a shooting at the mall," one woman tweeted.
"My nana is trapped inside Newport Mall... stay away there is a SHOOTOUT IN THE FOOD COURT!" another person tweeted.
Another person tweeted video from the scene showing people quickly filing out of the mall.
