Shoppers at a Beaumont, TX Mall say it sounded like an explosion.

A demolition crew tearing down the former Dillard's department store for women accidentally knocked down the wrong wall Tuesday afternoon.

Nobody was hurt. Shoppers and some store employees say the loud noise sounded like an explosion and had some of them running in the opposite direction because they weren't sure what was happening.

Late Tuesday afternoon crews were working to repair the damage which left a hole in an interior wall of the mall.

Mall officials say the area has already been secured and will not pose problems for people planning to shop at Parkdale Mall.
