Last night several businesses in Ferguson, Dellwood and North County were looted and torched following the death of 18 year-old Michael Brown.
The Galleria recently set a curfew on teens in the mall without adult supervision to cut down on theft and violence.
I’m at the St. Louis Galleria and it’s all closed due to fears of rioting here. We can’t be dominated by fear. #stl pic.twitter.com/yxcykRbOhy

The fight started on the second story of the mall. Police are turning people away. No one is allowed into the Galleria. KMOV reported:
Officers with the Richmond Heights Police Department responded to the St. Louis Galleria Monday evening. The Galleria has closed. It’s unclear why they’re responding, other than a report of “multiple incidents” inside the mall. Brentwood Police also responded. Several stores were evacuated shortly after 6:00. Nordstrom and Macy’s have closed their gates and confirm a lockdown.
