"I don't remember anything like this in the recent past at all, definitely not with the iPhone or anything like that," Linda Jackson, a spokeswoman for the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, told ABCNews.com. Indiana police were called to three malls to help control "hectic" scenes of hundreds of shoppers, including many teenagers and children. "It was pretty much a surprise for us," Jackson said.
