There's not many woods near that mall - police are climbing all over the place now ...

I'm afraid there's going to be a lot of that going on. Who knows, we could get lucky and this could be the guy(s).

Probably closed around ten - I was wondering about that as well.

It's interesting that CNN was up at that particular mall a day or two ago interviewing mothers and kids talking about how much safer they feel in the mall.

Probably a teenager or young adult with a pool cue.

THere are no woods adjacent to the mall. May be near the library.

There's an armed man in my closet!

Oh wait. It's just an old coat.

Setting up for morning? Waiting on an employee to leave? Or possibly a security guard?

I also wonder if this may have happened earlier, but is only now being reported?

There's no reason a youngster should be out with a pool cue at this hour.

Shoot him.

At least we've quit calling the HazMat team at my office every time someone spills a little coffee creamer...

This sniper seems to listen to the news. People blab at press conferences about schools being safe, he shoots a child at school. They talk about malls, he responds. (possibly) The people investigating this will need to be cautious about their public words.
