Eden Prairie Center Mall has been placed into lockdown after reports of a shooting at the mall, security tells FOX 9. In a tweet, Eden Prairie police say they responded to the mall around 7:25 p.m. for reports of shots fired. At the scene, they say they found one man dead.

Eden Prairie Police on Tuesday said their preliminary investigation indicates the 19-year-old man asked a store employee to see a semi-automatic handgun in the gun department.
