Situation still fluid. Have seen other reports that shooter may still be at large.

I live VERY close to this place. I live in Arnold Maryland (Suburb of Annapolis) and Columbia is not to far away. I called my colleagues who live in Columbia but still work at the Naval Academy. They are all fine which is great.

False flag. Just in time to cause a run on guns and ammo.

Sounds like a good guy with a gun took out the bad guy with a gun.

That is great. So glad to see everyone looking out. This is getting ridiculous, but my response to liberals complaining about guns and malls, I simply say that guns are not allowed in malls….they are “no gun zones” and I see it works real well. Kinda makes them shut up for at least a minute.

Maryland has some of the strictest gun control laws in the country. How could this happen? Prayers up for the dead and wounded.

The mall prohibits firearms. Another mass shooting in a “free kill” zone.

Columbia Mall, Howard County.

Anybody close by? Is everybody OK? It’s 25 miles away from us.

Fox News filling the Saturday airwaves with banal drivel about the shooting. When you don’t have facts, this is what you do. Maybe we’ll get lucky and there will be a high speed chase in LA.

We are good RedMDer. I want to hear from our Marylanders that they are okay as well.

The police are still responding as tho there is (may be) another person involved.
