A store manager told WPXI-TV a fight broke out outside the shop when someone yelled there was a gun. Gunshots reportedly rang out soon after. Three handguns were recovered, police sources said.
The incident prompted the evacuation of the mall, the news outlet reported. A news station employee said that people were seen sprinting out of the building and that the building has been put on lockdown.
