Members of the New York Giants' radio broadcast team found themselves in survival mode when they were at the Mall of American during the fatal shooting last week.
MetLife Stadium during the first quarter of the game between the New York Giants and the Dallas Cowboys on January 3, 2021, in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
Papa was told by a waitress that there had been a shooting and that the mall was on lockdown. Papa added that he was unsure whether it was because of a mass shooting or an"isolated incident," but his partner Cross, also a former Giant, had a plan in place. "There was no exit. We had just finished out meal, they were starting to bus the table and Cross was like, ‘I’m keeping the steak knife,'"."So we grab that, and then he started determining which tables we were gonna flip and get behind. And then I noticed that there was a little waiter stand in the back of the restaurant in this small little room with benches and stuff in front of it. I'm like, 'Cross, I'm crawling in there.
Added Papa:"It was pretty tense for a while," and"it was pretty scary for about an hour until we got out of there."
