Turns out the false report of an active killer was not merely a falsity that occurred out of the blue.
Instead it happened when some "youths" got into a fight near the food court, two of the juvenile female "youths" involved got handcuffed, and then during the ongoing fracas that's when someone apparently yelled shots fired.
This led to the two handcuffed youths escaping custody.
The Detroit Free Press: Auburn Hills police seek 2 juvenile girls after Great Lakes Crossing chaos
Before the massive panic, Auburn Hills police officers were at the mall in response to an unrelated theft report in the mall's food court when a group fight broke out, according to officials, prompting intervention by the officers and the deployment of a Taser to subdue an individual involved in the altercation. Two underage girls were handcuffed as a result of the fight.
It was during this altercation that someone shouted "shots fired," and panic overtook the mall. Multiple law enforcement agencies responded to the scene to manage the crowd of alarmed shoppers.
The handcuffed girls managed to get away in the chaos, which may have been the point of the false alarm.
Idiots doth abound, and they're hanging out at the mall.
