MONROEVILLE — A suburban Pittsburgh mall’s plan to ban minors who aren’t accompanied by adults on weekend evenings doesn’t apply to the department store where a shooting that prompted the policy took place.

Stacey Keating, a spokeswoman for CBL & Associates Properties, which owns the Monroeville Mall, said the policy taking effect Feb. 27 won’t apply to department stores or others that have exterior entrances or the mall’s movie theaters.

Rather, it will ban unaccompanied minors from most of the mall after 6 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. Stores with exterior entrances control their own security, though mall security officers will be checking mall guests who enter common areas from anchor stores to ensure they comply with the age requirement, Keating said.

The new security procedures were already in the works, but were fast tracked after a shooting in the mall’s Macy’s store Saturday night.

That’s where police say 17-year-old Tarod Thornhill of Penn Hills shot another man during an argument and wounded two bystanders. The man targeted in the shooting and one of the bystanders remained in critical condition Tuesday, and Thornhill remained jailed and charged as an adult with attempted homicide, aggravated assault and other crimes.

Allegheny County District Attorney Stephen Zappala Jr. said he had pitched a consultant’s plan last year to put security cameras on roads around the mall and other measures meant to discourage gang members and others looking for trouble from visiting the mall.
