Sitting in Panara (next to Macy's) with sandwich & soup. People just FLEW out of Macy's at Clackamas Town Ctr. and from inside the mall. Grabbed my coat,, & purse & ran with rest of those in Panorama. Hundreds of people running & screaming '' Run - get out of here,! '' Talked to a guy from Macy's - shots fired inside mall by Macy's. Then came the sirens & about 30-40 police - state, county, OHP driving by me & running into mall. Mall on lock down can't even get into pkg lot. Police even all the way down 82nd. I'm in car heading home still shaking & crying but I'm safe.
