A prison escapee is holding people hostage at the Baja Fresh outside of the mall down the street from my house.

[Updated at 3:53 p.m.] Hostages are being held inside the Baja Fresh restaurant near the Chandler, Arizona, mall in suburban Phoenix, U.S. Marshal David Gonzales said.

[Updated at 3:45 p.m.] A retired Phoenix, Arizona, police sergeant tells CNN that a problem could arise apprehending Daniel Perez Munoz if the fugitive attempts to hide among mall patrons.

Ex-Sgt. Andy Hill further said that the shape of the upscale Chandler mall, which is similar to the letter "A," could make finding the fugitive difficult. The most important charge of police on the scene, he said, is evacuating everyone inside the shopping center.

Hill predicts it could take "a long time to find this person."

[Updated at 3:20 p.m.] Daniel Munoz Perez, the suspect being sought by federal marshals after being seen at an Arizona mall Wednesday, was accidentally released from prison last month, CNN affiliate KPHO-TV reports.

The 25-year-old man was accused of shooting at Arizona Department of Public Safety officers December 11 outside a home in Casa Grande, a law enforcement source told KPHO.

Munoz was injured in the shootout, admitted to a Phoenix hospital and held in another county's jail before he was turned over to Pinal County, the station reported.

The Pinal County Sheriff's Office, however, said it never received the charging documents for Munoz and he was released on a $320 misdemeanor bond December 17, according to KPHO.
