Columbia Center Mall closed after robbery
12:38 pm Update: KNDU-TV is reporting that the mall opened back up around noon, and that the 3rd suspect wasn’t caught.

The Columbia Center Mall is currently closed while police search for a 3rd suspect from a morning robbery attempt at the JC Penney store. Police have cleared employees and shoppers out of the mall, and blocked all entrances so no one can get in.
According to the Tri-City Herald, two suspects were arrested earlier after an attempted robbery at 2:50 am. Then, while reviewing security camera footage this morning, police saw that a third suspect was involved. That’s when they put the mall into a lockdown status. According to KNDU’s web site, there are close to two dozen officers in the mall looking for the remaining suspect.
By the way, we were tipped about this by Michelle, a friend on Twitter:
