A masked man jumped on a table in a food court at Houston mall this weekend and claimed he was going to kill himself, setting off a stampede of hundreds of panicked people.
Chaos ensued at the Memorial City Mall in Houston, Texas, this weekend when a masked man jumped on a table in the food court and proclaimed he was going to kill himself, sending hundreds of panicked people fleeing.
Heap told reporters the suspect “put on what appears to be a half mask … kind of a red mask, came down the escalators, came down to the food court, and then at a slow trot went through the food court. About halfway through the food court he jumped up on a table and declared that he was going to kill himself.”
The suspect, according to the police, allegedly made his way through the south entrance of the mall toward a block of apartment complexes. Police indicated the suspect remains at large and could face possible charges of making terroristic threats.“We had an explosive detection dog ... come out and check the evidence that the suspect dropped on the scene. In the end there was no evidence of an explosive device … we have not determined exactly what that item is,” Victorian continued.
