Scary moment yesterday for Kyle Busch… the 2-time NASCAR champion and his family were at the Mall of America in Minnesota when gunfire erupted, causing chaos and sending people running for their lives. Busch, 37, was enjoying a day at the nation’s largest mall with his son, Brexton, and his wife, Samantha, before things took a scary turn. In the video posted online, you can see Bush, wearing a black and white shirt and white hat, holding hands with Braxton … as they all scrambled to safety amid the chaos. Soon after, Samantha sent out an update to friends, family and fans, writing … “If you’re seeing the news on @mallofamerica, we’re out and safe.” “We are also praying for others inside,” he added. “We are currently processing an active incident inside the Mall of America on the Northwest Side. Multiple officers are on scene. We will update when we have more information,” the Bloomington Police Department’s official Twitter account wrote.

After order was restored, Bloomington PD Chief Booker Hodges addressed the incident at a news conference … saying his officers heard gunshots near the Nike store at the famous mall. “After reviewing the video, we observed two groups fighting in some sort of cash register at the Nike store,” Hodges said. “One of the groups left after the fight, but instead of leaving, they decided to show a complete lack of respect for human life. They decided to fire multiple bullets into a crowded store.” Fortunately, neither Bush nor his family were injured, and according to police, it does not appear that anyone else was injured. The chief urged the culprits to surrender to the law enforcement authorities.
