Mall security fund exploded device at Chapel Hills Mall
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. Aug 18 2020 Two explosions outside Chapel Hills Mall are under investigation.
Police say they got several calls just before 10 Saturday night from people reporting hearing multiple blasts close to the north Springs mall. Mall security guards confirmed seeing one explosion, then hearing another.
Security later found a device that had exploded, and responding officers located the scene of the second explosion. At the time of this writing, 11 News has placed calls to police to find out what the devices were and whether the explosions were intentional. We will update this article when we get that information.
One woman who lives in the area recalls hearing the explosion.
“It was a little before 10-ish, I was in bed kind of winding down from the day in out of nowhere the loudest, craziest boom, blast sound… I’ve never heard anything like it.” Jennifer Talley said. “I jumped right up, went to my window was expecting to see a mushroom cloud, honestly, I know that sounds absurd–but it was that loud.”
No injuries were reported.
Police said the investigation is ongoing, but that there does not appear to be a threat to the public.
