police to believe they were related. In addition, a similar incident occurred at the mall in August, in which a woman and her 2-year-old son were kidnapped and tied up in their car, but left alive. To this day, the murders all remain unsolved. 2019 active shooter scare On October 13, 2019, shoppers allegedly heard quick pops reminiscent of gunfire, leading to a mall-wide panic. SWAT teams conducted grid searches across the mall, later evacuating patrons and employees on a store-by-store basis. After clearing the mall, investigators determined that there was no evidence of any gunfire, and that the only injury, other than minor injuries as results of tripping and falling in the midst of the chaos, was a trauma wound faced by a man evacuating, running into a door. Police found that the noise came from a janitor in the food court who popped a balloon stuck to his trash cart. 2022 shooting A shooting took place on mall property on April 6, 2022, injuring one person in the leg and prompting a large police presence. The mall was briefly locked down, leading some visitors and staff to shelter in place, but an active shooter threat was quickly dismissed and the incident was categorized as "isolated".
