Officers blocked mall entrances for hours Monday night, and police vehicles lined the north side of the shopping center.

 

Las Vegas resident Kelly Chacon says she and her mother saw people frantically running, so they took off to find an exit.

 

She says she didn't hear the gunshot, but people were shouting there was an active shooter.
