WANE 15 has a crew at the scene and spoke to a witness who was in the food court at the time of the incident.
They said they heard what they thought was a gunshot, but there was confusion if it was just a loud bang. They added that a panic then ensued and people started running out of the mall.
An officer helped that witness and her husband out of the mall at the nearest exit.

I was on the property I used to own near Lebanon and an A-10 flew over. it was likely based at Ft. Leonard Wood which was not far away as the crow flies. ;)

I thought they moved the FW Airshow up to coincide that stupid Three Rivers Festival. Last year when I went to the airshow in the fall, parking was about a mile and a half away over some pretty rough ground. I don't know if I have that kind of hike in me anymore.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) Glenbrook mall is closed for the rest of Saturday after Fort Wayne Police say a man shot at another man inside the building.
The initial calls to 911 were made just before 3:30 p.m. Callers had heard three to four shots and were telling dispatchers that one person may have been shot.
Police said they did locate one victim who was transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. That man is now stable.
Callers told police that the shooter had been seen running out of the Barnes & Noble entrance before officers arrived.
He later called 911 requesting to turn himself in and speak with detectives. As of now, the identified shooter has yet to come forward and make contact with police. A previous update by Fort Wayne Police stated that the shooter did turn himself in.
According to the Fort Wayne Police Department, this was not a random incident where a shooter came into the mall randomly firing. Police believe some sort of altercation between the two parties led to the shots being fired.
They say theres currently no danger to the public and that the mall will remain closed for the remainder of Saturday. Glenbrook will reopen for regular business hours on Sunday.

I wonder if the guy that was shot was armed at all? Only the P.D. will know for certain. ;)
