Delaware mall evacuated, police respond to reports of shots fired

Christiana Mall in Delaware has been closed and evacuated due to reports of shots being fired on Saturday evening, a day before the Easter holiday.

According to the Delaware State Police, authorities “are currently conducting a criminal investigation at the Christiana Mall.” The mall, located in Newark, Delaware, is the largest shopping mall in the state, attracting many due to the state’s lack of sales tax.

Delaware State Police said the mall was evacuated and will remain closed for the rest of the night. Police told residents to expect an increase of police presence at the mall. 

At this time there is no word on if anyone was shot or injured.
