3 people were taken to
hospital in stable condition after being pepper sprayed inside Polo Park Mall
Monday around 2:30 p.m. Monday afternoon.
Up to 200 shoppers fled
the mall, while many were treated by paramedics on scene for
shortness of breath, coughing and burning eyes.
Police are still
investigating to find out exactly what happened, but witnesses say the incident
began in a store between two young men who began fighting.
Fire crews remained on scene for some time to help with ventilation.
