Five people are in custody -- including three juveniles -- after a 19-year-old man died in a shooting that prompted the Mall of America to go on lockdown Friday night.

Bloomington Police Chief Booker Hodges says around 7:50 p.m., officers heard gunshots on the first floor of Nordstrom. There were 16 officers working in the mall at the time of the shooting.

Hodges says it appears there was a physical altercation prior to the shooting involving anywhere between five to nine individuals. The man was pronounced dead at the scene.
