The following is a statement from BPD re: this evening’s disturbance at Beachwood Place. The mall was re-opened and there were no injuries.

Shortly after 6:30pm, sizable groups of juveniles began causing a large-scale disturbance at Beachwood Place Mall. The disturbance appears to have been loosely organized on social media. Beachwood police and mall security were able to disperse the juveniles and remove them from the mall. There were no injuries reported. One male juvenile was arrested for attempting to strike an officer that was dealing with another disorderly patron. There were no further arrests.

One report of gun shots being fired was quickly determined to be unfounded. Officers from nearby jurisdictions responded to assist to help disperse juveniles in the parking lot.

After a short period of being closed, the mall re-opened for the rest of the evening without incident.

It does not SEEM like an active shooter situation. That is my own opinion based on the police scanner.

Mall is on lockdown.

From the Beachwood Police scanner: There are shoppers that are still locked down inside the stores with employees.

Details are not clear.
