We were having lunch at Hemingways Mall this afternoon when a siren went off. I told my mum that it sounds like an evacuation siren.
Shortly after saying that, we saw people exiting.
It was a bomb scare! Some people went to the parking lot and left the mall while others were being gathered outside the entrance.
We heard that the mall got a call saying that a bomb was planted (apparently in Edgars - a clothing store) and that it would go off in 3 hours.
Store clerks, waiters & chefs were huddled together, some lying on the grass while we waited...
30 minutes later, we were told all was OK and that we could go back inside.
I wasn't really impressed because I was waiting for action: police, dogs, helicopters! But alas, nothing.
Pics to follow.
