Terrified shoppers scream for their lives as crowds are gunned down in horror shooting at Pennsylvania mall
TERRIFIED shoppers screamed for their lives as crowds were gunned down in a shooting at a Pennsylvania shopping mall on Sunday.
Three men and one woman were shot, while two other women suffered "minor injuries" as they ran away from the gunfire.
Cops said there was "no immediate threat or danger to the public" around 40 minutes later.
One of the alleged suspects was armed with a handgun, according to Lancaster Bureau of Police chiefs.
In blurry footage, thought to be taken at the mall, witnesses can be heard screaming "Oh my God" several times.
Brenda Mosser was at the mall with her husband when the gunfire erupted.
She posted on Facebook: "There were sounds of guns firing... many times. I cowardly ran to the back of the store with all of the employees at the phone store as my husband went out into the mall helping people who were stunned and confused."
Karlye Greaves added: "We literally never go to the mall and for whatever reason decided to go today of all days. Never made it inside. I'll stick to online shopping too."
'REALLY SCARY'
She told the outlet: "Everyone was terrified."
Anthony Colon, a 19-year-old manager at Rue 21, heard two gunshots before he pulled down the shutters of the store and barricaded the shop with hammers and screwdrivers.
Several ambulances were dispatched to the scene and cops actively searched for potential suspects.
The mall was locked down as it was being scoured by armed cops. It will remain closed until Monday.
