Several New York Giants players and the team's announcer were inside the Mall of America Friday night when a 19-year-old man was shot and killed -- forcing the mall into lockdown -- just hours before the team was scheduled to play the Minnesota Vikings on Saturday.
Thankfully, all Giants team personnel are safe.
The Giants are staying across the street from the famous mall ... and a group of players headed over to do some shopping Friday night.
According to Bloomington police, there was an altercation between two groups of men before gunfire erupted around 7:50 PM in Nordstrom.
