A Westfield has been plunged into lockdown following reports of a gunman in the area.

Westfield Marion in Adelaide, South Australia, was evacuated after an armed man was spotted in the David Jones store.

One shopper claimed the incident had unfolded on the second floor of the store and saw a security guard run up the escalator from level one.

‘The staff were great but people were certainly panicked and running to all the exits,’ they said.

Movies being shown in a nearby cinema were immediately stopped and the patrons evacuated.
