Some of calls described shots fired, she said in a video clips posted online, "we found it was not the case, we did have an armed robbery, it was a smash and grab, and the smashing on the glass sounds like shot being fired."

The suspects reportedly exited the mall on its east end, police are searching for a gray SUV and described the suspects only as two white men.
