BLOOMINGTON, Minn. (AP) — Police in Minnesota are responding to a possible shooting at the Mall of American in suburban Minneapolis.
Mall of America spokesman Dan Jasper confirmed that the mall was locked down Thursday afternoon but had no other details.
Bloomington police confirmed on Twitter that they were working “an active incident” with numerous officers on the scene. They gave no other details.
