CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Authorities say a shopping mall in North Carolina had to be evacuated and four people were taken to hospitals because of possible monoxide poisoning.

He says some 40 firefighters responded. There was no immediate indication of what caused the problem.
Officials have not released the names or conditions of those taken to the hospital.
No other details were immediately available Friday morning. A fire department spokesman did not immediately return a call seeking more details.
