BEACHWOOD, Ohio - The Beachwood mall is on lockdown as police respond to an incident.
Authorities would not elaborate on what happened, only saying the mall was on lockdown.
A Nordstrom employee told News 5 the mall was placed on lockdown around 6:45 p.m.
Videos posted to social media show people running through the mall.
This is a developing story. News 5 will update as more information becomes available.

Oh you just named every mall i ever shopped in as a teen.
Randall Park was wonderful until it got taken over.
South Park Mall is on the westside and still pretty nice.
2006 was the last time I went to a mall and it was to let the teen kids roam around. Mr. b and I people watched from the food court. It was prom night so Obama’s ferals were out strutting their stuff. Oh, the sights we saw! N e v e r again.
All involving “Amish kids,” I presume?
Around here, they’re known as “Urban Troubadours”
By this time tomorrow, we will find out that there were 40 Mall fights , and it was all planned out and coordinated on Facebook.
What a sleazoid!!
I'm familiar with the Fox Valley mall on the Aurora/Naperville line (Illinois).
Years ago, the retailers in the mall started to post advertising signs on their windows inside the mall in Espanol, a come-on to the growing Hispanic population in semi-industrial Aurora. This was the handwriting on the wall.
It didn't take long for Espanol yutes to begin congregating at dusk all around the outside doors to the mall, lolling on deck chairs, playing fiesta music on portable radios, making gestures at cars going by and yelling things at the people entering the mall from the parking areas....just havin' a good ole time all evening long, especially Saturday nights.
Pretty soon, many, many shoppers, particularly the lady shoppers from affluent Naperville, stopped going to the mall at all after 5 or 6 PM.
I'm in Florida now, and when I read about this current rioting there yesterday, I marveled that the huge, beautiful emporium was still in business as it was going downhill when I moved.
I would say the perps in yesterday's melees were predominately a mix of hispanics, amish, with a smattering of disaffected anglos....and maybe a teeny number of Muslims, if any at all.
The disturbances there now will certainly speed up the mall's eventual doom.
I know about the history and things leading up to yesterday's mob action because my son and freeper daughter-in-law owned a classy restaurant in the first floor with outdoor dining under umbrella tables and the stars.
They were smart. When they read the burgeoning amount of advertising signs en Espanol on the windows and doors of so many retailers in the mall...they read this "handwriting on the wall" correctly and got out of there as soon as their lease was up.
Bon appetit, but adios!

I would say your assessment is SPOT ON!!!
Wow.
“Give them room to destroy.”
I wonder how the Oakbrook Mall & Yorktown malls are faring. They are both located a bit too far from Aurora, so should be doing just fine. Here in St Auggie, Florida we have a nice indoor mall with many high-end stores (great place to hang out on hot & muggy days) and an outlet mall with 84 stores representing every brand name one can think of. Both malls are un-crowded, plenty of parking, and no unruly teens.
I'm in constant touch with freepers and relatives who live near these malls. So far so good.
They are protected by being in the bosom of affluent, conservative Republican suburbs with not much industry and low-rent districts around them such as is the case with Fox Valley.
This could all change overnight, of course, but I doubt it. I'll keep you informed

I dream of a world that is feral-free. Right now it is somewhat of a nightmare.
i grew up there, and it’s a shame. Another one bites the dust!
