Police responded to an armed robbery attempt at Town Center at Cobb, commonly known as Town Center Mall, in Kennesaw on Thursday afternoon — a tense scene that sent shoppers scrambling after gunshots rang out. Kelly Meyers was at the Bath & Body Works store when she heard "five or seven" gunshots. She then saw people running down the hallway. "My first instinct was, 'I know that noise, we need to hide. I don't know where we're going to hide.'" she said. "They were stocking inventory in the back, so I told everybody to get in there." She huddled in the backroom with store employees.
