AN “active shooter” scare at a busy mall in Florida sparked a stampede on Saturday afternoon.
Dramatic video from inside Florida Mall in Orlando showed terrified shoppers fleeing the mall with others seen hiding in a storage room.
Local authorities later confirmed that no shots were fired and the noise that sparked the panic was from suspected fireworks.
“NO shots fired at Florida Mall. Loud noise is suspected fireworks,” the Orange County Sheriff’s office said in a tweet posted as rumors spread on social media.
“Please help tamp down those false rumors.”
