Wow those tweets about it literally just happening in last few minutes.

8/13/2016 2:43:31 PM

I saw this post before the tweets

8/13/2016 2:43:55 PM

^ I only beat the tweets bc my friend is there and saw people running out of the place

8/13/2016 2:47:08 PM

ABC11 finally posting about it, but no info, just that mall is on lockdown.

8/13/2016 2:49:02 PM

Any online scanners for Wake County & RPD?

8/13/2016 2:51:34 PM

I thought Crabtree was a gun free zone??

8/13/2016 2:52:33 PM

^Lulz. Just for honest concealed carry permit holders like myself.

Pretty sure they gave my brother a hard time about it but he showed them the door that he entered at the time did not have a sticker.

Get the chopper in the air. Where is the TWW news gopher?

8/13/2016 3:01:07 PM

Is it time to terrorize the terrorists???

[Edited on August 13, 2016 at 3:02 PM. Reason : is this happening at the crabtree valley mall off kaplan?]

One person shot on first floor between Belk and PF Chang's per scanner traffic. They are attempting to secure building now.

8/13/2016 3:05:36 PM

One person?

You fear the worst when you hear about something like this and as tragic as it is for anyone to be shot lets hope it was only domestic and not a mass shooting.

8/13/2016 3:13:37 PM

I think they said one person, yes. Might just be location of shooting in the mall though.

8/13/2016 3:14:21 PM

One patient on the way to Rex with multiple fractures but no gunshots so could have just fallen during the evacuation. Another two patients were reported trampled during the rush to get out.

8/13/2016 3:19:58 PM

Another person fell 30' off higher level of parking deck. Lacerations and needs to be transported.

8/13/2016 3:22:05 PM

Twitter is being remarkably constrained. Usually there are dozens of crazy sites claiming it was terrorism already by this point. Not a single comment about that yet.

8/13/2016 3:29:20 PM

Another injury evac in progress, west(creedmore) side of mall

^ my bet is gang shooting.

Its more of a mess right now trying to secure and clear the mall. Listening to radio traffic they are treating this as mass casualty, since theres not good eyes inside so they are not sure how many are injured.

335: FD/EMS staging moving to best buy parking lot.

Yoda, what kind of scanner do you use?

8/13/2016 3:38:18 PM

I bet its because of ThinkGeek opening a store

8/13/2016 3:39:44 PM

Im just streaming Broadcastify. Same as Nighthawk posted. The other Raleigh fire feed has feedback issues. Mostly I just know what to listen to and how to interpret some of the things being said as I listen to Broadcastify regularly.

Theres no RPD feed as their comms are encrypted otherwise that'd be fun to listen to.

Some of the twitter pictures are insane. Someone posted a picture of a cop with sidearm inside the mall. They are lucky they didnt get shot taking that picture.

8/13/2016 3:41:57 PM

My bet hope is some idiot shot himself by accident, and y'all are gonna have to shove those "gun free zone" jokes pretty far up your asses.

8/13/2016 3:43:35 PM

Evidently theres a few patients still in the mall. RPD is securing and handing off locations to EMS. Just got called on fire comms theres a dedicated RPD channel (cant hear) for patient handoffs between the two groups.

8/13/2016 3:46:22 PM

^^^They might have just been in the middle of being escorted out of the building.

^^And big difference between some yahoo who doesn't have a permit and just acting big and somebody with a permit who (hopefully) knows WTH they are doing with their gun.

21yo was at the mall and just was able to leave.

8/13/2016 3:48:07 PM

^Was she there to catch them all?

8/13/2016 3:49:36 PM

so people who carry guns to protect themselves are idiots?

8/13/2016 3:50:39 PM

If they shoot themselves, yes.

Regardless that isn't what happened here surely.

8/13/2016 3:52:47 PM

Smdh obviously ^. FOH with that strawman.

[Edited on August 13, 2016 at 3:55 PM. Reason : ^ yeah probably not...reports of multiple shots]

8/13/2016 3:54:25 PM

I would agree if you shoot yourself you might be an idiot. I have a CCP and have not yet shot myself, so reckon I'm not an idiot, yet.

8/13/2016 3:54:50 PM

Ya so with my earlier remark of pictures with cops, Now that I see whom took it (and I actually know the guy, small world) it was done while being evaced. Still not smart but slightly less dangerous.

Buncha assisted evacuations now including couple wheelchair assists. One call for a breathing difficulty in Victoria Secret. Between twitter picts and radio calls, looks like they are slowly clearing and evacing specific stores.

8/13/2016 3:55:40 PM

Wild part here is I haven't seen any mention about the shooter, except that he hasn't been captured

8/13/2016 3:56:35 PM

I haven't heard anything about an actual gun shot victim.

8/13/2016 3:56:50 PM

i bet when this is over they review security cameras and there wasn'teven any gunshots

8/13/2016 3:58:00 PM

I bet the head line regardless will be that an AR 15 was involved.

8/13/2016 3:58:46 PM

Who knows what happened but seriously, how easy would it be for a really loud noise to make someone yell "gunshots" and start a massive panic?

8/13/2016 3:58:54 PM

Yeah I was working on the assumption that nobody was actually shot, since there were no mentions of that on Twitter, until Nighthawk's post above from the scanner.

What are 3 "alphas"? Not familiar with this lingo.

8/13/2016 4:04:02 PM

With reports of a single shot sound and others saying the ground shook, maybe there was some sort of explosion instead? Maybe not even anything intentional like a bomb but maybe some idiot with a firework or something like that trying to make a prank?

I've seen many reports of multiple shots, and none about the ground shaking/explosions

If there actually was a shooting, it's pretty wild they don't have anyone in custody.

"I was just in the ThinkGeek store. Heard screaming, felt the ground shake. Stayed in there for about an hour until the police officers got us out of there. Most scary hour of my life. I need a smoothie and a pretzel now. As far as I know, it was a shooting that started near the food court."

From Reddit thread in r/Raleigh. Couple others said similar things. Hell ground shake on upper floor could just be stampede from people running I would think.

8/13/2016 4:09:38 PM

^ agreed multiple reports of multiple shots. Ive only got one personal twitter option of comparing to an earthquake.

8/13/2016 4:10:18 PM

Saw that on reddit and they clarified it was from people running

8/13/2016 4:11:41 PM

That floor shakes in the mall because its steel beams. If people were running that could cause it.

8/13/2016 4:12:10 PM

^Yep just saw the added post! Doh!

8/13/2016 4:12:17 PM

^^^ Yeah that makes more sense.

I'm starting to question there being actual shots fired, and instead something that sounded like it.

"Police tell us they believe there are multiple injuries but none fatal. One shooter in custody."

Great news.

8/13/2016 4:16:25 PM

WRAL has nothing about someone in custody.
