"We believe that what people thought were gunshots was actually the sound of people slamming doors as they were fleeing the building," said the department in a statement to NBC 5.
As of 7 p.m., police say they did not find anything that would lead them to believe a shooting took place or any explosive devices were placed in the building. Two explosive canine units swept the mall, along with other bomb/arson teams with the fire department.
