PARAMUS, N.J., May 11 (UPI) -- Police in New Jersey have confirmed that the "gunshots" that forced a mall evacuation in Paramus were in fact noise caused by a falling display.
According to the local department's Facebook page, a car fire broke out in the mall parking lot shortly after 8 p.m. Saturday. Smoke from the fire entered the mall's ventilation system, forcing Macy's employees to shuffle customers away from the noxious fumes.
