So this happened nearly one year ago
Hobart Police continue to look for a fourth teenager involved in a shooting that caused the evacuation of a Northwest Indiana mall.
"I saw a whole bunch of police and a boy coming out of Macy's and he just stopped because he knew he was caught," said Lashonda Mullins, who was inside Westfield Southlake Mall on Saturday evening when the shooting happened.
Police told NBC 5 the suspects began arguing with a teen and then attacked him. The victim was beaten up and one of the suspects fired a gun near a merry-go-round, police said. Only one shot was fired and the bullet was lodged into the ceiling. No one was injured, but it could have been worse if the gun had not jammed, according to Hobart Police Chief Jeff White.
"Obviously they have no clue what could've happened in a mall this busy and crowded," said Hobart Police Chief Jeff White. "They were right next to a merry-go-round, next to kids with parents, children."

Why didn't this get national headlines? It wasn't even a major stories on the local news that night, they just had a little blurb about it. My guess is because its in a lower middle class to poor area and the media does care what happens there. Its a nice mall, and there are not a ton a teens hanging around all the time like the mall near my house, which is in a upper middle class area.
