Police in Lexington, Kentucky, have evacuated a mall and are conducting searches throughout each store after officers confirmed a shooting took place inside the building and patrons started a stampede toward the exits after hearing gunshots. At 4pm, police urged the public to keep clear of the area surrounding Fayette Mall after law enforcement officials received reports of gunfire and a possible active shooter. But a little more than an hour later, Lexington police tweeted: 'THIS IS NOT AN ACTIVE SHOOTER.' Cops surrounded the mall which was put on lockdown as shoppers were told to shelter in place, while locals have been told to avoid the area. Video posted to social media by mall patrons show a long line of people calmly file out of the building through what appears to be a side emergency exit.
