Investigators said no shots were fired. Instead, three suspects attempted to smash their way into some jewelry cases, startling shoppers inside.
The sound of glass shattering scared many people. On social media, people warned others to get out of the mall amid fear of an active shooter near the Dillard's store.
"I heard what I thought was three gunshots," shopper Tim Hootman said. "I was sitting in a chair, waiting for my wife and daughters. I ran all over the place looking for my wife and daughters."
The Houston Police Department quickly shot down those rumors, tweeting it was a robbery instead.
The suspects are still at large, but fortunately, no one was injured.
We do not have a description of the suspects.
