POWER OUTAGE

A partial blackout left about half of Military Circle Mall without power Saturday night, police said.

Part of the mall, including the movie theaters, went dark around 8 p.m.

At least two theaters showing the new movie ``Higher Learning'' had sold out, police said.

The outage may have been caused by a downed power line.

There were some reports of limited looting, but those reports couldn't be confirmed, police said.

Power was restored around 9 p.m. by CNB
