COLUMBIA, Md. Shots rang out at a popular shopping mall in this suburban Maryland community on Saturday morning, sending patrons running from stores and hiding under tables in the food court.
When police officers arrived, they found three people dead inside a skate shop on the upper level of the two-story mall. Two of the victims were a man and woman in their 20s who worked at the store. Another man, who is suspected of being the attacker, had a shotgun and ammunition nearby, police officials said.
The shootings at the Mall in Columbia located between Washington, D.C., and Baltimore set off fears in the area as residents waited to hear from loved ones and concern across the country over thoughts of another mass killing.

(13,237 posts)That's an interesting concept. The deaths are isolated. Certainly true in that each of us dies alone.
But what does it mean in this context? That they aren't part of a terrorist plot? That they have nothing to do with "gun violence" generally?
