(RE: This shooting incident in Seattle)

[robomatik]

i wonder if it is/was a gun-free zone?

[kms61]

a lot of malls have become notorious gang hangouts.

Be on the look out for the gun grabbers, they see this as an “opportunity” not a tragedy.

If there is another school shooting when Obama is Prez. you will see how tyrannical the left is.

An update. Two male victims, one male suspect. Suspect still at large.

Cars stream out of Southcenter Mall's parking lot as police patrol car lights flash.

TUKWILA - At least two people were hit by gunfire in a shooting Saturday afternoon inside Southcenter Mall as it was filled with pre-Thanksgiving shoppers, witnesses said.

The gunman remains at large and police are searching for him, police said.

The mall, located off Southcenter Parkway, is being locked down, officials said. It will remain closed for the rest of the night

Tukwila Police say two young men in their late teens to early 20s were shot. They were rushed to Harborview Medical Center with serious injuries.

"They were both inside the mall on the first level in the new section of the mall," said Mike Murphy, Tukwila Police spokesperson.

The suspect is described as a black man in late teens to early 20s, 5-foot 6-inches tall, 145 pounds. He was wearing some sort of black jumper with white typing.

"He had a black pistol with him," Murphy said. "He shot several rounds, we haven't got a round count yet, but he did hit two people."

"Nobody else has been injured as a result of this," Murphy said.

SWAT teams from all over Puget Sound converged on the mall helping to search for the suspect.

"We were just eating our lunch and all the sudden gunshots started going off," witness Kayla Shaw told KING 5. "It was like a stampede of people … there were actually people jumping off the balcony where the food court is at. It was crazy."

Shaw said she saw someone being handcuffed before she was evacuated.

"We heard two shots," shopper Cindy Stephenson said. "There was pandemonium … All the parents were screaming trying to get their kids.

Traffic is backed up in the area.

More details to come.

Seems we are getting a lot of gun news lately.

Holy (bleep). I have been to Southcenter many times. Even though Tukwila has a bad rep, I never remember feeling unsafe at Southcenter.

For those of you who have never lived in the area, Southcenter is the largest mall in the Seattle area, and is located south of the city proper near SeaTac airport. The mall itself is at the center of a huge sprawling mess of retailers, and is always crowded (even during a recession).

[wastedyears]

Impossible, because that mall is probably a gun-free zone.
