The mayor’s newsletter comments came nine days after the shooting, allegedly by a 17-year-old, at Westfield Valley Fair shopping mall that wounded three people.

District Attorney Jeff Rosen said handling the case in adult court provides consequences that 'reflect the recklessness and danger of fighting a senseless gang war inside a mall crowded with holiday shoppers.'

If the case against the 17-year-old suspect continues in juvenile court, few details about the arrest or the Nov. 28 incident, which shut down Northern California's biggest shopping center and left three injured, are likely to be made public. The mall reopened with additional security measures on Nov. 29.

The Westfield Valley Fair Mall, one of the largest shopping malls in California, reopened today at noon with increased police patrols and assurances that Friday’s shooting was an isolated incident.

Nearly 90 minutes after the 5:40pm report of the shooting at Westfield Valley Fair mall on Stephens Boulevard, San Jose police said there was “no ongoing threat to public safety.”
