Police are still looking for the person who shot at least two bullets in what appeared to be a drive-by shooting at Stanford’s Shopping Center in Palo Alto Monday night.
“We found a roof access room and we were just hoping the shooter wouldn’t go in there,” said Aaron Ownes.
The brothers found themselves hiding in Aritzia's dressing room along with dozens more as police investigated two incidents. A drive-by shooting right outside Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse, and reports of a person with a gun holster walking inside the shopping center.Palo Alto police say a bullet went through this restaurant as customers were inside and a vehicle in the parking lot was also hit.And the reports of a possible armed subject inside the shopping center turned out to be false.
This, and other recent smash and grabs, have shoppers wondering if it’ll be safe to come back this holiday season. “I think at first I thought, ‘oh do I want to continue shopping? But then I just thought to myself, ‘I don’t want to miss Christmas, I don’t want to miss the lights,’” said shopper Lisa Gruman. “You're going to see our cars out there, you're going to see our officers out there, you may not see some of us when we are in plain clothes or unmarked cars, but it’ll be a variety of suppression methods,” said Brian Philip of the Palo Alto Police Department.
