Corrected entry: There is no way Maya could have entered the mall after the siege began, as she did by simply walking through a back door using her dad's pass key. The place was supposedly surrounded with law enforcement and she would never have gotten by them and, additionally, she's surprised by the hostage situation, which she wouldn't be after seeing the police presence outside.

Correction: By the time Maya enters the Mall the Swat team is there and the guy thats in charge of the swat team, James Kent, is in on the whole takeover so he wouldn't have the mall completely surrounded which would allow them to escape. That is why Maya was able to enter the mall so easily, because there wasn't any police or swat team completely around the building.
