Edmonton Police are seeking famed actors and martial artists Steven Seagal and Chuck Norris after two men destroyed a clothing store in West Edmonton Mall on Sunday as a fight broke out between the men over a pink t-shirt.

The mayhem descended upon an Aeropostale store in West Edmonton Mall after Norris and Seagal were seen noticing each other try on the same pink t-shirt, said a terrified employee. The employee wished to not be named.

"I just saw Chuck and Steven walk out of the dressing room and noticed each other wearing the same pink shirt, and they both just weren't going to have any of that," said the employee."Roundhouse kicks and backhand slaps ensued, and I was absolutely terrified. I had never up until now witnessed such awesome power."

The store was completely destroyed by the pair, leaving behind hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of damage. Although the two men fought, both made an immediate escape after the blows were exchanged.

Aeropostale store manager Sketch Ergotron said everything happened too fast to really understand what happened.

"Some vicious roundhouse kicks and slaps were exchanged, and then the two got out of here as if they weren't here at all," said Ergotron. "It was all over so fast."

Nobody else was harmed during the the fight, and the store will likely remain closed for some time due to the damage caused, Police said.

Police have been unable to apprehend or locate the suspects, and urge the public to stay away from the either Norris or Seagal if at all possible.




Edmonton is a city that was incorporated as such in 1904, but first established in 1795. It currently has a population close to that of 800 thousand people, as of a 2009 civic census.
West Edmonton Mall was built in 1981 and remained the world's largest mall until 2004. In it are over 800 stores and services, and it employs over 23, 000 people. It garners about 28.2 million visitors a year, and despite no longer being the largest mall in the world, is still the largest mall in North America.

Aeropostale is a mainstream retail clothing line/store geared towards the teenage and up demographic that began in 1987 in America, and expanded into Canada in 2007, with its first store opening in White Oaks Mall, in London, Ontario. The Aeropostale location in the West Edmonton Mall was opened nearly two years ago, and has since become one of the most popular Aeropostale locations in Canada.

With West Edmonton Mall being a hotspot for shopping, entertainment and tourism, it is not strange to see celebrities among the millions of people who visit yearly visiting the mall and its many stores.
