Multiple calls starting  around 5:35 p.m. detailed that multiple people were sheltering in place and reported bullet casings and a trail of blood from Macy\u2019s, dispatchers said.<\/p>\n<p>In a later post at 6:31 p.m., the city department said there was no longer an active shooter. <\/p>\n<p>Officers arrived to a chaotic scene, according to their radio dispatch feeds. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have multiple people running across the street,\u201d one emergency responder radioed. Fleeing patrons seemed to have caused a traffic jam while crossing a nearby street from the mall. <\/p>\n<p>Police said the shooting appeared to be an isolated incident, and that people should avoid the area. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Black Friday shoppers were sent scrambling for cover after shots were fired at the Westfield Valley Fair mall&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":412070,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5123],"tags":[171114,6923,120987,1582,276,20781,2961,224,5337,106902,33071,17820,27178,3546,20517,7207,66160,193675,625,11085],"class_list":{"0":"post-412069","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles","8":"tag-black-friday","9":"tag-blood","10":"tag-bullet-casing","11":"tag-ca","12":"tag-california","13":"tag-fire-department","14":"tag-la","15":"tag-los-angeles","16":"tag-losangeles","17":"tag-macy","18":"tag-multiple-people","19":"tag-p-m","20":"tag-patron","21":"tag-people","22":"tag-photo","23":"tag-police","24":"tag-shooter","25":"tag-social-medium-user","26":"tag-street","27":"tag-trail"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115631032134455036","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/412069","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=412069"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/412069\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/412070"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=412069"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=412069"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=412069"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
