MINNEAPOLIS — There was a shooting inside the Mall of America on Friday night, a spokesman for the Bloomington Police Department has confirmed.
The mall was put on lockdown, the spokesman said just after 8 p.m. It was lifted about an hour later, at which point the Mall closed for the night and asked remaining customers to head home.
Police did not immediately confirm the location of the shooting, but Bloomington Mayor Tim Busse said it was inside the Nordstrom department store, one of the mall's original tenants and anchor stores.
