Sitting in Panara (next to Macy's) with sandwich & soup. People just FLEW out of Macy's at Clackamas Town Ctr. and from inside the mall. Grabbed my coat,, & purse & ran with rest of those in Panorama. Hundreds of people running & screaming '' Run - get out of here,! '' Talked to a guy from Macy's - shots fired inside mall by Macy's. Then came the sirens & about 30-40 police - state, county, OHP driving by me & running into mall. Mall on lock down can't even get into pkg lot. Police even all the way down 82nd. I'm in car heading home still shaking & crying but I'm safe.

The Oregonian's sports columnist John Canzano is inside the mall, tweeting live. Here are some of his dispatches:

I am at Clackamas Town Center where panicked people are running from mall. Witness tells me shots fired.

Police have established a perimeter, have weapons drawn, and are blocking exits.

Multiple agencies here. Lots of very emotional people. Tough to get details but one person tells me it was an automatic weapon

Nordstrom employee tells me the shots were fired near the escalator by the food court. Automatic weapon.

In an interview with TV station KGW, he said, “People were definitely trying to get out" when it happened, but police were controlling it well.

He first noticed people driving the wrong way down parking lanes, which caused some backup.

Nordstrom employees told him the person who was shooting is still inside.

"I’ve got a Sheriff’s deputy 50 yards away with a shotgun out behind his car. A lot of employees are standing around, because their keys are inside the mall."

Cages in front of all the stores were put down.
