plaza

Los Angeles developer Wayne Ratkovich embarked on an ambitious makeover that included removing the roof of the mall and cutting out much of the main floor to create a sunken, sunlight-filled public plaza.

Around 3 p.m., the police department received another round of calls about a similar disturbance at the pier plaza.

Videos shared to social media showed helicopters hovering overhead and yellow police tape blocking off the intersection and portions of the mall’s first-floor plaza.

As the motorcade was passing the Texas School Book Depository, gunfire rang out in the plaza.

Architects at Foster and Partners, who will design the project, said the new stadium would feature an umbrella design and a new public plaza that is "twice the size of Trafalgar Square".
