A viral video reportedly shows a white woman pulling out a gun on a Black family inside a shopping mall in Vancouver, WA during an argument. No word on if the woman has been arrested yet.

There’s also a 14-second video of a one-woman-standoff between the unidentified woman and four, unarmed Black women.
Two white security guards did nothing to stop the armed white woman in the video, but strangely paced back and forth around the Black family who were in shock, screaming at the white mother.
It is worth noting the four Black women kept their distance from the armed, irate mother.
Even more curious is the fact that the videographer pointing out a bystander, unwittingly, walking in front of the white mother holding the gun.
Eventually, the Vancouver Police Department (VPD) were called in, according to The Columbian, but the outlet does not indicate whether or not the white mother was arrested. The VPD only referred to the woman’s imminent charge for displaying a firearm.
According to the Vancouver Police Department (VPD), the incident happened on Wednesday at the Vancouver Mall, and the two families have a history of conflict.
