Shoppers say they are afraid to go to Lenox Square
Officials are ramping up security at the Buckhead mall for the holiday shopping season.
ATLANTA - Some holiday shoppers say they have marked Atlanta’s most well-known mall off their list this year. They cite gunplay that has occurred inside the mall. My mom doesn t want me to go there by myself, said Maddie VanSlyke.
VanSklyke is a young adult who can recall when she as a middle school youngster frequented the mall with other young people.
The latest incident that put the mall in a bad light took place last Saturday around 6 p.m. Atlanta police said a man was walking through the Neiman Marcus store and adjusting his pants when the gun inside of his waistband discharged.
