At Lenox Square Mall in Atlanta, Georgia, a city plagued with recent gun violence, police responded to shots fired inside the Neiman Marcus store.  Police concluded that “the gunfire was the result of a person walking through the store and adjusting his pants when the firearm he had in his waistband went off.” No one was injured and police have not found the gun owner.

“We urge gun owners to be responsible and we would recommend they leave their firearms at home while they are out shopping in public areas,” the department said in a statement. “Instances like this are unacceptable and we expect more from those who choose to carry firearms.”

In the last two months, there have been two other incidents of gunfire at Lenox Square including one, in October, inside the Neiman Marcus store.
