Terrifying moment gunfire rips through SoCal mall, sending shoppers running for their lives

Shoppers fled Ontario Mills Mall in Southern California after reports of gunfire on Friday evening, captured in videos shared by a local shopkeeper. Police said no one was hurt, the scene was contained and a juvenile suspect was in custody, with no threat to the wider community.

Police responded at about 7.07pm to a report of shots near Dave & Buster’s and Burlington. The mall was later described as inactive, with no one outstanding, and was due to resume normal business. The cause remains under investigation, and it is unclear whether a weapon was recovered; the mall in San Bernardino County attracts millions of visitors each year.
