In a Facebook post that's going viral, a South Bay mom described the scene that unfolded on Wednesday morning when the sounds of loud porn were played over the PA system at a Target store in the Westgate Mall in San Jose, Calif., for 15 minutes.

"Employees were running around everywhere," Gina Young, 43, wrote in a post on Oct. 14. "Picking and hanging up phones, which worked....for about two minutes before it started up again.

People were screaming at employees, video taping, some laughing some disgusted. Others threw there stuff down and walked out. It was terribly awkward."

Young was with her twin boys that morning and says people offered to help her cover their ears.

"I was covering Weston's ears and was like OMG I can't cover both their ears," Young wrote on Facebook. "A woman walked over and offered to cover Wyatt's ears."

The mom from Campbell, Calif., also took video footage giving a taste of the sexually explicit language and profanities and the sounds of moaning and groaning that were included on the inappropriate track.

In the 30-second video clip, Gina asks, "What is going on at Target right now?"

Her boys are sitting in a red shopping cart during the clip and they begin to cry as the audio plays. Whether they're crying because of the disturbing audio track or because they're fighting over a box of Pizza Poppers is unclear.

The mom explains in the comments of her post that she immediately rushed to check out and depart the store as quickly as possible.

The recording left many shoppers feeling flushed, uncomfortable and violated.

"My body said, Wait a minute, that's not right.' Chris Minor told KCBS. "I was uneasy."

The store made an announcement apologizing and then the X-rated recording began playing again.

Young posted a second video on Facebook on Oct. 14 showing staff panicked by the situation. "@target employees freaking out over porn blasting over the loud speaker," she wrote. "This is not safe for work let alone all the small children in the store. People were up in arms."

Young's first video has been shared over 8,000 times and the second clip over 300. She shared the video's popularity in a follow-up post, writing, "My video of porn playing over the loud speaker at Target has gotten over 1,000 views in the last 30 mins and is gaining speed."

Target said in a statement the store is investigating the situation.

We are actively reviewing the situation with the team to better understand what happened and to help ensure this doesn't happen again," Target spokesperson Molly Snyder said. "Because this is an active investigation, I'm unable to share additional details, but we want our guests to know that we take this very seriously."

In July, a similar incident occurred at a Target in San Luis Obispo and staff evacuated the store while they figured out how to turn off the inappropriate audio.
