Armed standoff at Tacoma Mall (WA)
Eyewitness ^ | 11/20/05 | Ramius

Posted on 11/20/2005 12:41:22 PM PST by Ramius

Two separate reports, one from my Dad and one from a friend... both at Tacoma Mall. Not being allowed inside, due to "someone inside with a semiautomatic shooting in the mall".

Large number of police on the scene, sealing the exits. Not letting anyone in or out.

Will post a source as soon as I have one.

Keep posting. Remember the (Tom Clancy?) novel that had the plot about an attack on a mall? Personally, I doubt that they'd pick Tacoma on a Sunday afternoon, but you never know.

I would suspect it's probably thugs shooting thugs and being pursued by plainclothes police or security.

Witchy woman and her Dem cohorts foisted a 9.5 cent tax per gallon of gas on Washingtonians and yet the voters there voted to keep that illegal tax valid. Talk about stuck on stupid. Let's see how much of that tax improves your highways there in the Peoples Republic of Wa.

Oh, but didn't you know there isn't ANY crime in our "socialist's workers paradise" of Greenerland? They're just products of a bad environment. No, it's societies fault. No, wait, they're disenfranchised youts.(sarcasm off)

You are correct, Lancer.

Move along folks, nothing to see here...

No spotted owls or salmon were in danger at the mall today.

They're probably OK. Just stuck in gridlock.

Hey now... destroying the Tacoma Mall could conceivably do hundreds of dollars in damage.
