Police say two people suffered minor injuries when a gun discharged at a mall crowded with holiday shoppers in New York's Hudson Valley.
Wallkill Police Department Chief Robert Hertman said the gun discharged shortly after 3 p.m. Sunday at the Galleria at Crystal Run in Middletown, about 70 miles north of Manhattan.
“At this time we determined there was a male who was wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt and gray pants discharged one round from a handgun into the ground in front of the American Eagle store; that’s on the second level of the mall,” Hertman said.
Hertman said a single round was fired into the floor on the mall's second level. He said police are still seeking the man whose gun went off.
The gunfire happened at an American Eagle store. A man who answered the mall security office phone declined to comment.
Video posted on social media showed armed police in tactical gear running down a corridor of the mall while shoppers ran in the other direction.
