At approximately 6:22 p.m., a citizen reported a man with a gun inside Macy’s at 111 North State Street.
The suspect, who was supposedly spotted on the second floor, was described as a 370 pound black man with dreadlocks and a light complexion.
The alleged gunman had the weapon tucked in the back of his pants, according to police dispatch.
Citing preliminary information, it appears the alleged suspect may have been caught on a security camera.
At 6:44 p.m., authorities were still searching the store, included a stairwell where an alarm was apparently activated.
If more information becomes available, this article will be updated accordingly.
UPDATE: The search was called off around 7:12 p.m. The alleged suspect was never found.

ReplyDeleteI went downtown the Apple store to return something and I was sickened by the Africanus infestation around there and Water Tower place.
ReplyDeleteAbout 370 pounds? With dreadlocks? Sounds like a real catch for some lucky lady out there. That is, if the cops don't get him first.

ReplyDeleteI'm sure it was true. They let them go buck wild in the Water Tower store. Can't offend or unnerve now can we?
ReplyDeleteExactly how do you not find a 370 lb. black guy with braids?
ReplyDeleteEven in this town of big & fat slobs, he would stand out!
He stopped and posed as a manikin in their new "big and tall department". These stores have taken PC a lil' too far for the sake of a $. They know what the future holds however, I'll hand them that.
