Video shows moments after shooting
A day after the shooting, FOX 10 obtained video showing the moment shots rang out.
The scene before the shooting looked like any other night. Families were shopping, some were heading into the IMAX theater, and others were eating at the food court.
Surveillance video of the incident shows the moments when shouting began in the food court. Then several shots ring out, one after the other.
Employees were seen ducking behind the counter and then crawling to the back, trying to get away from the scene.
Bullet holes are visible on one restaurant's signage, and employees say they are still on edge after the entire ordeal.
Again, no one was reported to be hurt, and no arrests were made.
