Wait until the current crop of high school students gets out on their own. They have been programmed to run shrieking at the sight of a cookie nibbled into an L shape.
I’m going to hazard a guess that less than half the people who heard this commotion ever heard a gunahot “for real”, because while an explosion, or a vehicle backfire might sound a bit like gunshots, falling displays would require that I suspend reality to think I was under attack...
This is why I’ve long argued for regulation of potentially noisy metal support frames.
As it is now, anyone of any age can just go out and buy a metal support frame. That sort of madness just naturally has to stop.
I had some pretty good pot in my youth, but nothing as powerful as this:
“...after smoke seeped in from a nearby car fire knocked over a metal support frame...”
The masses in fly-over country may react quite differently.

No dogs were shot?
Chicken Little response.
America - to employ a mixed metaphor - has become a nation of sheep.
Tires or gas filled shocks expoding from heat of car fire sound like gunshots - this was Garden State Plaza
6 Months back a druggie ran through mall shooting
Fortunately nobody hit and he killed himself later while police were searching for him
This was near Macy;s which is in center of mall.
