Shots were fired inside Southlake Mall in Hobart, Indiana, terrifying shoppers and putting the mall on lockdown.
"I am glad no one was shot or anything like that," Jones said.
This all happened just a week after the shooting at Oakbrook Center Mall. Jones said mall shoppers were already on edge."I think it will hurt a lot of businesses because people are going to be like, 'I am not coming to the mall,'" Jones said."Of course with me being a women's clothing store, New Year's Eve is tomorrow, so I had a lot of customers saying, 'we are coming to shop,'" Jones said.
The mall will be closed the remainder of the day Thursday, Dec. 30, 2021, and will reopen on Dec. 31.
