Earlier tonight, about a mile from my home, a man walked into a shopping mall and started shooting. At last report, there are six people dead (including the shooter) and several critically wounded. An off-duty police officer from a neighboring community was in the mall at the time, and shot and killed the man. No information yet on the shooter’s identity, or the identities of his victims.
At least 20 shots were fired, with the man stopping and reloading several times. It appears his primary weapon was a shotgun – the deadliest weapon at short range.
I’m glad I wasn’t eating dinner at Trolley Square tonight.
**CBS story, with a few more details, here, and here's another. The man was 18-years-old. I'm sure videogames will be blamed again.
