Chandler mall returns to normal after shootout
Associated Press |
Chandler Fashion Center reopens again for business Thursday
after a wild shootout forced an evacuation and lockdown.
No one was hurt inside or outside the mall
after separate shootings Wednesday outside a Sears store and a Baja
Fresh restaurant north of the mall.
After several hours of tense negotiations,
the suspected gunman, 27-year-old Adam Hernandez, surrendered.
A Department of Public Safety spokesman
says the first burst of gunfire erupted when members of a U.S.
Marshals Service fugitive task force confronted a man they believed
to have committed several robberies in recent days.
The suspect the task force was tracking
was at first believed to have been the same man who shot at DPS
officers in Casa Grande and was mistakenly released from custody
last month.
