A water leak beneath Penn Square Mall has caused flooding on the mall's lower level.

The leak was reported about 1:15 p.m. The water was shut off to the building, about 2:30 p.m.

The water reached depths of between 3 and 5 inches before the valve to shut it off was found, Oklahoma City fire Battalion Chief Benny Fulkerson said.

The entire mall has been closed, he said.
