HOBART, Ind. — Police say three youths have been arrested and a fourth was being sought after a gunshot led to the evacuation of a shopping mall in northwestern Indiana. The Times of Munster reports the bullet from a Russian-made 7.65 mm handgun lodged in a ceiling and did not strike anyone Saturday at the Westfield Southlake mall in Hobart, six miles southeast of Gary. Hobart Police Chief Jeff White says off-duty officers working security at the mall swiftly apprehended three boys ages 14, 15, and 16. He says the boys who've been arrested were the aggressors in a fight with another group of boys. Witnesses say the shooting sparked a chaotic scene as people fled from the area of the shooting. Authorities evacuated the mall at 6:30 p.m. Saturday.
