Police got the call around 11.53 a.m., and quickly evacuated the place to keep everyone safe. The threat came through the department's fusion center, where someone claimed they were going to blow up the mall. Shoppers and staff had to leave right away, causing some chaos in the busy area near North Central Expressway and Northwest Highway. Traffic backed up big time around there, as officers blocked off parts of the 8,600 block. Folks were told to stay clear while the investigation went on, leading to long delays for drivers nearby. The Dallas Police Exposive Ordnance Disposal Team swept the whole building and the surrounding spots. By 3.10 p.m., they gave the all-clear, confirming no real danger. With the mall secure again, normal shopping can resume, though police are still looking into who made the call.
