Police and other first responders descended Saturday afternoon on the Lehigh Valley Mall as customers and staff rushed to safety, according to a report from the scene.
Allentown police are part of the response to a shooting at the mall in Whitehall Township, a department official said.
Jason Malik was shopping with Michelle Delong, of Lehighton, at Country Memory and they were just about to leave when they heard three shots, he said.
“It was crazy, it was like a stampede,” Malik said. They were locked down for about 45 minutes in the store, and then were led out about 5:45 p.m., he said.

My money is on targeted gang-related violence rather than random, crazed shooter scenario.

[edit] When I was in college (Lehigh) and for a while after - it was super common to hear about shootings at (or around) that mall. I still went there all the time. That was before I was into guns....

Please merge with ett's thread. No sense having two.
Fortunately, no one was injurred. Although it sounds like a personal beef, rather than a random "do badness" attempt, according to the one eyewitness account.
