2 injured in shooting inside upstate New York mall

Two people were wounded Sunday when gunfire erupted in an upstate mall, authorities said.

The Galleria at Crystal Run in Middletown was evacuated after an unidentified man fired shots that ricocheted off the floor at around 3:30 p.m., Wallkill Police Chief Robert Hertman said.

Footage posted to Instagram by Grismaylin Almanzar showed police in tactical gear running down the corridor as shoppers fled in the other direction

The gunman, who was wearing gray pants and a black hoodie, remained at large, authorities said.

Most Upstaters would call Middletown downstate.

Mall patrons, if armed, could have stopped the shooter before the cops got all their gear on and travelled to the mall.

Nothing kills the holiday shopping spirit like shots fired at a mall. Reminds me of a similar event at the Centre in Salisbury a few years back.
