‘Shots’ Heard, Garden State Plaza Evacuated
New Jersey State Police say the Garden State Plaza in Paramus has been evacuated after someone reported that shots had been fired, while a witness says the evacuation of the mall began after tires exploded on a car on fire outside.
Police say there are no confirmed reports of shots having been fired in the shopping mall. State Police and other agencies are at the scene investigating.
Twenty-six-year-old Brittany Berdy says she was eating dinner at a restaurant at the mall when she went outside and saw the tires explode on a car. She says the tire explosion sounded like gunshots.
