Table to find able to find no. By when will the mall be clear and how do you determine if you clear the mall, go back in, shop, reop the stores. Thats a lengthy process and the safety of all as i mention the in the very gee beginning who were at the mall today is the most important piece of all of this. So until we can render everything safe, no one goes back into the mall. Reporter any idea when it might be open . Until the mall. Reporter is there a possibility it might have been fire or fire crashes instead of a gun. Were looking at all possibilities. Were not sewer at this tomb. People heard the popping sound, some thought it was a gunshot. And we have to evaluate all possibilities. Look at any potential leads. Evaluate the 911 calls that were made and follow up with that investigation with a number of Law Enforcement resources. Couple outlets report some have but no one has reported that we had a gun fired. So we are looking at all possibilities at this point in time. Have all the stores been cleared. The mall is empty at this time. Reporter the mall is empty. Hand over their keys so are you going through the process right now. Im not sure what you got in that regard. Theres reports that there was an argument prior to. Thats all that i have to share at this particular point in time. Thank you get folk back to their cars. The investigation is ongoing. Im sure that there will be another opportunity by which well be able to hopefully answer your questions in greater detail at a later time. At this time, there may be some questions for ems, and theyre able to provide any questions that youve got in that regard. Thank you. As chief said, what we all seem to be injuries from the chaos that ensued after what exact event took place. We dont find anything to be life threatening so were pretty encouraged about that. A matter of getting people taken care of and injuries treated but we dont expect any life threatening problems at this time. The other issue with the hot day is as we have people out here waiting for instructions is just simply the heat and people to get ill with that. Got a lot of setup to keep people cool, keep conditions out here so that that doesnt get any more severe. Injuries to First Responders . No, there havent. Weve all been safe thank goodness. An elaborate part of the response mechanism includes preparing for contingencies like that. Your thoughts . Quite frankly, it can be an emotional thing but at the same time we do train for this. We are prepared for massive event and number 2, convenience that involve active shooters. We work very hard with the police and fire to be prepared and train for that. The good thing for us is that you go into very much business mind frame. Youre thinking about objectives and what to take care of and what your tactical approach is to taking care of people and emotional side of whats happening at our own place here in town. Reporter what were the nature of the injuries . Mostly having to do with maybe a fall or leg and limb injuries that kind of thing. Nothing, again, that appears to be life threatening or penetrating injury. Reporter so as people were aokayey vac waiting they may have been pushed. That appears to be the case certainly we dont know for sure. That seems to be the type of thing. Evacuated. Through the middle of the afternoon it was a little bit more severe so people were nor susceptible to that, then. Listening to a press conference from the police chief of the Raleigh Police and ems workers. After a report came in earlier this afternoon of shots fired at crabtre right now, is that there is no confirmation that any shots were actually fired. Though they did receive reports to that effect. Right now, they tell us that no one is in custody. The investigation is underway and the mall right now is empty. After those calls about possible shots coming in, police had to surrounded the mall. Cleared the mall. One by one. They went through all the stores. They got everyone who was inside the mall, out of the they say at this point they have also not taken anyone into custody or found any type of a suspect, again, at this point. Eight people however were taken to local hospitals. Were told all of those people who ranged from 10 to age 70 had sustained injuries when they were trying to get out of the mall. There was kay york panic, people were running so some fall injuries injuries to limbs. None life threatening. Lets get out to amy cutler what are you seeing and hear out there. Reporter well, maggie, this is remains a very active scene. Raleigh police along with the sheriffs office, sbi, and number of other agencies are out here. I want to give you a live look ought Crabtree Valley mall. You can see several ambulances are out here along with command centers now. Authorities have been out here all afternoon long following a report of shots fired at the mall. Authorities responding in force, evacuating the mall. This is a busy saturday afternoon, thousands of people were inside at the time. I spoke with one young man who said he heard at least one gunshot ring out. People started running. It became chaotic. Security later told us the mall was on hillary clintondown and that it would be for was on lockdown and that it would be for hours. They are trying to determine what led up to this call of shots fired. You heard m that she could not substantiate that call for shots fired. Take a listen to shoppers describing it. My friends and i were in the dressing room trying on dresses and one of the employees came running in and was like get out. Theres a shooter. So here we are. All of a sudden i hear the floor start shake and hear people screaming. And so the people working there back of the store. Reporter now, police say no arrests have been made. Again, they are continuing to go through the mall, theyre continuing to investigate. I also want to mention traffic here on glenwood, as well as creedmoor it remains closed off. Its kind of a traffic nightmare if you are headed to the area. You certainly want to avoid that exit off of the beltline and this section of glenwood. Were going to continue to be out here.

You can see a very active scene there. We spoke with one employee who heard the chaos as it unfolded. Demonstrating a bluetooth speaker. And we heard loudest noise ive ever heard in there. I thought someone broke into one of the other glass kiosks. We got down watched for a minute to peek. We got as many children and their parents as we could. My coworker and i ran out here. I was talking to the cops who started directing people. They set up this barricade to and away from it. Coverage continues with one family who was inside the mall when it was placed on lockdown. Lauren joins us live. Reporter yes, that family that i spoke to is just one of still hundreds that remain over across the street from Crabtree Valley mall. Theyre still strand here because this is still a very active crime scene. They cant get to their car. All these emotions that theyre talking about is a lot events that have unfolded here at Crabtree Valley mall and, of course, this heat is not helping anything. Not everyone that i did speak to today including that one family said they didnt hear those actual shots being fired. But they said, they saw people running so they decided to start running. They set was pure panic inside the mall. People were forced into the stores. This one family that i did speak to they were inside a faith based family store and they believe god was telling th t they said they were doing one thing in particular that they said helped them stay calm. We were visibly shaken. We were trembling. We were slashing but the first thing we did was we prayed. And i reminded the kid of which store we were in in the mall. And i dont know if you know the store altered state but it is a faith based store and we were surrounded by bible verses on shirts and coffee mugs. So i reminded them of all the mall which store that we were in. And that we were going to be okay. Reporter now off in it distance you can see several people walking back onto the Crabtree Valley ground. Were assuming thats just one of many groups that police have allowed to get back to their car.
