Stores are on lockdown at the Garden State Plaza in Paramus, New Jersey, after at least one gunman opened fire Monday night.

According to a police source, the shooting began near the Nordstrom department store on the second level of the mall. At least eight shots have been fired; the gunman is believed to be wearing body armor.

An estimated 200 police units were on the scene, and a mass-casualty unit was required.

None of the witness reported seeing anyone hit by the gunfire.

One witness said the man was “strutting by” and talking to himself as he fired at least five shots.

Althea Brown, 26, of Paterson said she was in Talbots, a clothing store in the mall, when she saw the man walk by.

“He looked at me and kept on walking,” she said. She said she heard three shots, then two more. The man appeared to be wearing body armor, and had the visor of his helmet pulled up as he walked, she said.

Another witness, Shadey Reyes, 24, a Bergen County resident, was working in the J. Crew store when she heard the shots.

“Everyone froze in place,” she said, then ran to the parking lot.

The mall was surrounded by police cars from Paramus and surrounding communities, grouping mainly in the area around Nordstrom’s. Ambulances were gathered at the west side of the mall.

An employee at the bareMinerals store said she heard gunshots shortly before the Paramus police ordered the store’s employees to lock the doors and stay inside until further notice.

At the time of this reporting, the gunman hasn't been identified. InfoNubia will bring you more details as they becomes available.
