Rumors of an active shooter at Lakeside Mall are not true according to police in Jefferson Parish.
Word of a possible gunman, however, led to a stampede out of the crowded shopping center this afternoon.
"There's thousands of people running out of this mall," one caller told WWL First News.
JPSO says there was a physical fight between two people inside Dillard’s, but there was no gunfire.
Captain Jason Rivarde says, "The two combatants have been arrested."
He reiterated, "There is not an active shooter incident at Lakeside Mall."
Deputies on the scene called for a ambulance after one person suffered an injury in the mad dash for the doors. They reportedly had an injured foot or ankle.
