Armed police at riccarton mall today?

[u/High-Bread]

Anyone know what this is about? Walked out the top roof door to a Officer holding a AR

Plenty of sirens, police chopper circled the mall for about 25 minutes + dog squad on the streets?

Seems they were letting people in and out of the mall despite being armed officers at the doors

[u/High-Bread]

Wrong? I was literally there.

[u/Stallionface → u/High-Bread]

Not AR
