'We heard the first loud bang and everyone just got really quiet. It was kind of offsetting and we were trying to figure out what it was and a split second later, we heard another shot. That's when everyone realized it and started running towards the back.'

Witnesses say several more shots were fired as people attempted to run and hide despite not knowing exactly what was happening. 

'We thought it was like thunder, maybe it started raining because it was one or two at first,' Dean said.

The mall was evacuated with police arriving on scene quickly.

'It was just a very traumatic moment,' said Ester Diaz who witnessed the shooting.

'There was tons of people in there,' she said. 'There was a lot of people having trouble trying to run from where they were at. There was people with strollers.'
