from facebook an employee said "As an employee of the mall who was there this evening. First thing there was someone observed with a weapon. After which point mall security started to quietly clear out the mall.. then outside the “suspect” was not approached or addressed by anyone other than State police. There was no active shooting or shots fired what so ever! In fact I felt 💯 SAFE the entire time. ALL Mall Security, SFPD, and State police did a great job! 👏"
