It can definitely get crazy on weekends especially at night. Lots of loitering from people looking to cause trouble. I was trying to visit the movie theater more often towards the tail end of the pandemic to support the cinema, and police were there constantly at all entrances of the mall. It was for stuff like shoplifting, fights, graffiti etc. not shootings mind you, but still. I wouldn't call it safe. It was the same at the Waterfront and Pittsburgh Mills though.
