after what looked like a hostage situation. Just saying.

What I am pointing out is that this shit is accelerating.

The other two don't appear to have been charged. It was likely an over-reaction/ misunderstanding to a costume.

No harm, no foul.

I am just again, pointing out that now we have had two incidents in less than 24 hours. One is obviously more serious than the other.

That's the NRA agenda.

Sorry for the snark, but this is getting ridiculous. I am actually aghast and dumbfounded.

When is it going to end!?

I heard he went to Apple. MY first thought I bet his 2nd Generation Ipod locked up for no freakin reason this week too.

I hope no is hurt. but let's face it it's hard to be shocked about a free for all shooter nowadays
the shock will be no injuries and no deaths

It doesn't sound like he was aiming directly at anyone, It's being reported he was shooting up in the Air.

This weird but semi-good news. It's sounding like no one was hurt. But he/she is still free

They are suicidal or close to that and see a way to go out in a video game like blaze of glory.

How incredibly sad our society produces one of these per week now.

The NRA is preventing us from improving the situation.

Lot's of cops on hand and mall evacuated and on lockdown, but the shooter could easily have slipped away.

What was that movie... Cadillac Man with Tim Robbins as a first time hostage taker, or something...

I think he slipped away with help!

Appears to be around the Nordstrom's, so maybe he'd go for more of a preppy look.

No injuries, reports of tall man in black with long barreled weapon, one clerks says two people.

One shell casing found.

Two million square foot mall, most customers evacuated, many employees told shelter in stores.

Shooter(s) may be off site.

...are these incidents really more of a threat to the stability of our society than, say, the accelerating concentration of wealth among a tiny few? The increasing corporate control of our political system? The rapid erosion of the middle class?

Not remotely, I'd say.

Another shooting today at a mall in New Jersey. Copycat or another stunt by the government in the favor of gun control. You be the judge.
