NorthPark Center In Dallas Evacuated Due To Water Main Leak

DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) - Crowds at NorthPark Center in Dallas were left confused Saturday afternoon after being forced to evacuate while alarms wailed. Police say it was due to a water main leak.

Police say the evacuation is considered a "false alarm" as crews work to find the leak.

CBS 11 News' Ken Molestina captured video of crowds leaving the mall after hearing the alarms.

"Why did @Nordstrom just evacuate everyone from the #northpark #dallas location. No sirens. No smoke. Just a voice over a loudspeaker and a mass exodus," a witness said on Twitter.

Normal business operations resumed later in the afternoon.
