Chievon Curtwright, from Arkansas, was at the mall when the shooting occurred and described the family’s experience.

“While we were going to another store the girls start screaming and running past us saying there’s a shooter. We started running in toward the exit,” Chievon wrote on Facebook. “We drove back by after we calmed down and there were police, ambulances and fire trucks all around.”
