Most of the time and I'm just worried someone might have
pissed her off.

From your first link. Looks like it was updated and there was no shooting.

A possible active shooter at Memorial City Mall sparked an evacuation Saturday night, though police quickly determined there was "no evidence" of a shooting.

Good news.

Seems like everyone has at least one good "live at the mall" joke so lighten up ya?

Found this from Twitter

Reports of active shooter at Memorial City Mall have been confirmed to be false. Situation is stable and under control by @houstonpolice incident was actually a smash and grab at a jewelry store. No shooting or injuries have occurred. Tweet from houstonpolice

Thats the third jewelry store smash and grab at a mall I have read about in the last few years that were mistaken for shots fired. It happened here in Tampa as well a year or two ago, and another one in California a year or two prior to that.

Apparently two suspects are in custody, one may have a gun. Unverified reports state anywhere from 1 to 5 shots fired. Still a little up in the air but hopefully it all smooths out in the next hour.
