New York Mall Patrons Flee Gunshots in Wild Surveillance Video

A shooting at a mall in New York caused a panic Saturday … with people rushing to take cover in the back of a hair salon, in a bathroom and more — and it was all caught on video.

Patrons of the Sangertown Mall in New Hartford, New York were going about their day … when what sounded like gunshots rang out — and people dove for cover.

Watch the clip … while at first a group of people in a salon aren’t sure what they heard after multiple shots are fired, they quickly jump into action, crowding in the back of the store for cover.

There’s a lot of shouting as people try to herd one another to safety … including one woman who is screaming for her daughter. Thankfully, the two are reunited before hiding together.

Tons of people sprint out of the store — and, you can see the hallway full of people making their way to the exit … though one family enters the salon and barricades themselves in the bathroom.

The panic slowly subsides … and local reports say only one person was shot. Police have said this wasn’t an active shooter situation — which could indicate the shooting victim and the shooter actually knew each other.
