Mall of America Shooting Leaves 2 People Injured, Police Say

  • Shooting in Minnesota’s Mall of America

EKO HOT BLOG reports that a shooting has been reported in Minnesota’s Mall of America on New Year’s Eve and several shoppers injured.

The mall was put on lockdown by the police.

Bloomington Police confirmed two people were injured in the shooting.

The shooter reportedly fled, possibly in a vehicle, and the victims’ injuries are considered not life-threatening.

At 5:42 p.m. local time, police said the mall was back to normal operations after a “short lockdown.

In other news, the federal prosecutors asked a judge on Thursday to dismiss charges against two jail guards who were on duty the night Jeffery Epstein committed suicide in his cell.

The two guards on duty the night Epstein committed suicide in August 2019 acknowledged to falsifying records but reached an agreement with federal prosecutors to avoid jail time. In the housing unit where Epstein was being detained, the two “confessed that they ‘willfully and intentionally completed materially false count and round slips about needed counts and rounds.’”
