That was my estimation too. But the new reports of his backpack having a bunch of homemade IED's has me wondering about motive. Could be was a self-converted wanna-be jihadist. Just didn't have the contacts to get good training. The explosives were apparently crude and simple devices with household common components. All that though makes it odd that he offed himself after killing just those two, and not continuing whatever presumably larger plan he had.
Was he confronted? Could be. Maybe the two, or one of them, was the target after all and he simply came armed for an extended search or stand off? Dunno. It's curious. Maybe wasn't actually ready to deal with the carnage he created and it overwhelmed him. It's an uglier thing than it seems in the movies.
I'd like to know that there are -witnesses- that saw him kill himself. So that we know he wasn't merely a third victim and the real shooter left the backpack and shotgun on him and walked away and out of the mall.

Well, guess how Maryland Governor Oh-Mao-Lee sold his litany of strict gun control initiatives in early 2013?
The threat of gun violence “will never go away,” O’Malley said, “but the actions we take may well prevent another tragedy like that in Newtown, Connecticut. . . . It is possible we can make a difference.”
And, Governor, it’s possible your state’s strict gun control was the reason this angry ex-boyfriend of one of the victims thought he could get away with murdering her and her new boyfriend without any meaningful resistance.
He brought a Mossberg 500 pump-action shotgun into a “No Guns” mall, pulled it out of a skateboard bag in a dressing room, then hunted down the defenseless victims and shot them with buckshot in cold blood. He then, being the brave soul he was (that’s sarcasm there), turned the gun on himself.

My tactical shotgun would fit under a longish coat. Or in a big duffel. Or in a long cardboard box. Somebody carrying a long cardboard box wouldn’t be noticed in a mall.
I don't know about Maryland or this particular mall.
But the sporting goods store where I shop is in a mall and I walk in and out of there with a cased gun all the time.
I read somewhere he was a former boyfriend. Hard to stop someone determined to kill.
My niece is a cop there and the mall is part of her patrol. I’ll have to find out if she was involved.
Winter time, long coat.
no pics of perp anywhere!
That grin has a familiar look to it.

Yes but photos of the victims as soon as their names were released
I shop there. There are ground level entrances on the upper level. You don’t have to walk far. People are involved with each other or with their kids, bags, food, phones. They may not notice. Even if they did, all they can do is call 911; your average shopper can’t very well disarm a gunman. And this only took a few minutes.
Frankly, the Howard County cops are the super-courteous traffic patrol type, not tough guys. They aren’t the sort you turn to in a major crisis. Howard is still mainly rural and mainly full of nice people who get along.
“Very few details were released about Aguilar. He apparently lived with his mother in the suburb of College Park, where University of Maryland is located. McMahon didn’t know if Aguilar was a student there.
Aguilar took a taxi to the mall and roamed its halls before shots rang out within an hour. Police arrived at the scene just 2 minutes after a 911 call came into authorities at 11:15 a.m. When they arrived, they found three bodies at the Zumiez skateboard shop on the upper level.”

I have one with tactical grips. Overall length is less than 36 inches.
Scrubbed before release. Not surprising. CYA mode activated.

PC considerations appear to be in play.
