Disturbances are being reported at shopping malls across America the day after Christmas. Traditionally, one of the biggest shopping days of the year, police were called to many shopping centers in response to disturbances.
One was at the Fort Worth (TX) Hulen Mall which went on lockdown after reports of a big fight and possible shots fired in the early evening.

In Tennessee, police in Memphis shut down Oak Court Mall on Monday evening after an altercation involving multiple youths in the food court area. About 10 people were injured during a melee at the Jersey Gardens mall in Elizabeth on Sunday evening.
Another large fight in a food court in Fayetteville (NC) caused an evacuation and shoppers fleeing the area.
