Chimp goes apeshit at a Macy's. Do yourself a favor, avoid all contact with chimps, arm yourself.
----------------------
MLive-The Flint Journal could not immediately reach a spokeswoman for Genesee Valley Center regarding the incident, but township police Lt. Brad Wangler confirmed the department is investigating the incident captured in the video and what preceded it.
“Yes we are investigating and at this point, no one is in custody,” Wangler said in an email.
A Macy’s spokeswoman said both the store and the shopping mall have added security officers since the incident.
“We are deeply saddened about the incident that took place on Monday at Macy’s Genesee Valley as the safety of Macy’s customers and colleagues is our top priority,” Andrea Schwartz, senior director of media relations for Macy’s, said in an email to The Journal. “We take these situations very seriously and are working closely with local authorities on this investigation, deferring all comments about the case to them per policy.”

The chimp in question has a brother named "Quay". If and when they catch the chimp, you'll find out he's got a record a mile long for armed robbery, carjacking, drug dealing, home invasions, the usual. Just your average chimp doing what chimps do.
