Mall Shoppers Caught Fleeing; Shooter Still on the Loose

Authorities are still piecing together the facts after yesterday's shooting at the Crossgates Mall in Albany.

Thankfully no one was reported injured after shots rang out at the popular shopping mall just outside of Albany on Saturday. As we reported yesterday, two men were detained after the incident but police say they were not involved and have not been arrested.

The Times Union reports that authorities are still looking for the main suspect,  a black man approximately 6 feet tall and weighing 200 pounds. He was wearing a white shirt with a black hoodie.

Surveillance video caught shoppers running in panic after gunshots were heard near the Apple store just after 2pm.

Eyewitnesses say that hoppers who were able to get out of the mall were visibly shaken. Others were still hiding inside, as of Saturday night, reportedly sheltering in place in back offices and bathrooms.

The mall is expected to reopen this morning at 11am. Police say they will have a significant presence there throughout the day.
