This is what i've heard so far (as of last night) the place is in total lockdown, and police will eventually help people get their stuff back from mall.

Example: gunfire starts, Jim drops purse/ bags of stuff and runs for life. Purse/bags now locked in mall.

Not surprising considering the real life circumstances.
