Shoppers were evacuated and Eden Prairie Center was placed on lockdown after a shooting there Monday evening.
Police were called to the Scheels store at about 7:25 p.m., according to Eden Prairie police. There, officers found one man dead with a self-inflicted wound.
The incident was "quickly contained" and the lockdown was cleared later in the evening, said Eden Prairie Police Chief Matt Sackett in a press conference recorded by KARE 11.
"It's a tragic event when anyone loses a life, no matter how it happens," Sackett said.
The area has been secured and police say there is no danger to the public. In another tweet, police said the mall was closed for the evening at about 9:45 p.m.
