Houston mall shut down Saturday night due to large crowds

HOUSTON (WITI) -- A big mall in Houston was so busy Saturday night, it looked like the weekend before Christmas!

In fact, it was so crowded, the fire marshal shut the mall down early!

Mall officials said the inside was at capacity.

So why the crowds?

Shoppers said they saw tweets and pictures online of celebrities who were inside.

Houston hosted the NBA All-Star game this weekend.

The mall reopened Sunday at its normal time.
