Two people were injured on Saturday in a shooting at East Towne Mall that sent a panic through shoppers closed the mall six days before Christmas.
Police spokesman Joel DeSpain said one person was transported to the hospital with a leg wound after a dispute between two groups of teenage males at the mall turned violent.
"We don't believe this is related to terrorism. This was obviously not a mass shooting. This is not an active shooter," DeSpain said. "This is an incident where we had young people as we have seen in many areas of the city who were in a dispute and one of them pulled out a firearm and unfortunately shot a gun in the middle of East Towne Mall on the busiest shopping day of the year."

I got a coworker right next to me now wondering why I called it, “Madistan.”
He’s from Wisconsin, we work in Colorado.

Why are we allowed to say they are teenage males, but can’t give other descriptions of those involved????
How many gun laws were violated in this incident???

a dispute between two groups of teenage males
Could they sanitize it any further to remove any additional facts that the public would find pertinent?
Reading "news" reports has become a sort of puzzle game: "guess what really happened"

Well, if people.become afraid to go to that mall, then add it to the dead malls site.
To: PAR35
So many malls are screwed because their shops increasingly cater to non-white teens which in turn repels the shoppers that had previously been their bread & butter. This explains a lot of the growth of online shopping, IMHO.
One of our local malls really saw the writing on the wall when a tattoo parlor opened in one of the many empty spaces...
