[Breaking] Shooting at Westfield Garden State Plaza Mall in Paramus, New Jersey - Polidicks

[url]http://www.cnn.com/2013/11/04/us/new-jersey-mall-shooting/index.html?hpt=hp_t1[/url] [quote](CNN) -- Police are responding to reports of a shooter at Westfield Garden State Plaza Mall in Paramus, New Jersey, an officer who answered the phone at the Paramus Police Department said late Monday. Eddie Kahmann, who works inside the mall, told CNN he heard 6-7 gunshots around 9:20 p.m. ET. "There was just people running like crazy, so I quickly just closed my doors, ran to the back, turned off all the lights, music and everything, just to stay hidden," he said. Kahmann spoke from inside the mall, one of the largest shopping centers in the New York City area. Ally Kozic, another mall employee, said she saw "someone dressed in all black, carrying a large gun walk past our store." She said she heard loud bangs about 10 minutes before her store was set to close for the night. There is a large police presence at the mall. There are about 20 vehicles both marked and unmarked. Police are putting on flak jackets and bringing out assault weapons. People have been pushed away from the mall and are telling CNN that they've been told the mall is on lockdown.[/quote] More info as news develops. JUST TURNING IN? Shooter kills himself in the back room, no one else dead or injured.

I was just about to post this, actually. Hope things end well.

firefight imminent?

I was seriously just about to go there today but changed my mind. Holy shit. I would have been leaving the mall around that time too.

-Actually nevermind-

[QUOTE=Leon;42761571]firefight imminent?[/QUOTE] Probably not. Most cases have these shooters turning the gun on themselves.

It's really concerning how there seems to be shootings in schools and malls practically every few days in this country.

Woah. That's weird, there was a gang shooting at the Westfield where I am at like a year ago. Man, that's spooky

Oh, not this shit again.

I hope none of my friends are there.

Holy fucking cunts on fire, I live ten minutes from that mall I had to use the phrase "holy fucking cunts on fire" to express my astonishment A girl I'm interested in was actually there just two hours ago holy fucking cunts on fire

The situation is under control and all, but I'm still shocked to hear this since I go to there often.

A lot of people ITT seem to be really close to the area. Is it a big place or just a coincidence that there are so many?

NJ is the most densely populated state so I'm not that surprised.

FOUR GERMAN EXCHANGE STUDENTS FROM MY SCHOOL ARE THERE

Just make guns illegal already, I'm sick of innocent people dying to push this agenda. No one is buying this "random attack" bullshit anymore. There's been too many too similar. Just do it and stop the needless bloodshed, I'm sure these tactics have worked enough to push it through. I'm also sure that the numbers have been inflated enough with this crap to have a justifiable drop in gun violence after they stop doing it.

Honestly considering the size of this place I would expect police from just about every town to be there.

We don't need a flame war when we don't even have any idea of what's going on.

What the fuck is with the mass shootings lately?

my friend just texted me that he barely left the mall before the shooting started shit's fucking surreal

[QUOTE=timothy80;42761732]What the fuck is with the mass shootings lately?[/QUOTE] Don't say mass shooting till you see bodies.

They'll find the gunman under a boat, calling it.

[QUOTE=timothy80;42761732]What the fuck is with the mass shootings lately?[/QUOTE] No real definitive reason, but most people place bets on it being people who can't handle being, "not something" so they take what the media gives them. A tally chart, and some recognition of their general existence. As history has shown, the higher the tally, the more your name sticks.
