CHEEKTOWAGA, N.Y. — A heads up if you plan on going to the Walden Galleria on Thursday morning: The mall is holding a planned lockdown drill with Cheektowaga Police at 10:15 a.m.

The drill is being administered to establish a procedure if a situation like this were to happen in real life.

The drill is expected to last about 15 minutes, and a public address announcement will be made inside the mall to warn anyone inside that it's just a drill.

This will be the Galleria's third security lockdown drill of the year, which helps police "equip employees with proper training in the case of an emergency."
