The Grand Traverse Mall posted a reply to the story that several media outlets have reported.  The good news is that they are taking any threats very seriously, although they are claiming that the story that has been circulating on social media is false.  The mall definitely has the safety of all customers and employees at the top of their priority list.  You can see their reply below.
