The media in Los Angeles tried to hype a “mass shooting” at Westfield Topanga mall. Thankfully, the reports appear to be false. Suspects have been arrested, there are no reports of injuries or casualties at the Westfield Topanga mall and now some media is reporting it as a shooting/robbery attempt. This tweet from the LAPD says it all. LAPD is investigating reports of a shooting, but there is no evidence of a shooting.
