The Mall of America confirmed the lockdown on its Twitter account and asked shoppers to remain in “the closest secure location.”
The mall was placed on lockdown in August after a reported shooting at the suburban Minneapolis shopping complex sent some shoppers running for cover and two people were wounded last New Year’s Eve during an apparent altercation.
Representatives from the city of Bloomington and the Mall of America did not immediately return requests for comment
