Two-time NASCAR Cup series champion Kyle Busch, family escape shooting at Mall of America

NASCAR driver Kyle Busch and his family were among those to escape Thursday's shooting at the Mall of America in Minneapolis.

According to a report from the Associated Press and ESPN, Bloomington police said nobody appeared to be injured in the shooting, and they were still searching for a suspect as of 6 p.m. Thursday. 

The police said that two groups at the mall got into an altercation at a store. One group left, but someone in that group fired three rounds.

Busch's wife, Samantha, posted videos on her Instagram story, showing their son winning a youth racing event Wednesday and riding roller coasters with her husband on Thursday, before including an update after the shooting.

"If you are seeing the news about the @mallofamerica we got out and are safe," she posted. "Praying others inside are too."

A two-time NASCAR Cup series champion, Busch is slated to race on Sunday in the No. 18 Toyota at Michigan International Speedway.
