The gunman suspected of wounding five people at a Connecticut mall is a teenager who was out on bond on separate charges, officials said Wednesday.

Tajuan Washington, 19, opened fire after confronting another man he “had a history” of “beef” with at the Brass Mill Center in Waterbury Tuesday afternoon, striking the man and four women he was with, Mayor Paul K. Pernerewski, Jr., said during a news conference.

The mayor and police officials said that the shooting, which happened near the shopping center’s main entrance just before 5 p.m., was not a random act of violence.

“This was a one-off incident,” the mayor said, adding that the mall was safe for shopping.

“This was a one-off incident,” the mayor said, adding that the mall was safe for shopping.

Too late, all the shoppers are now at the beaches in Martha's Vineyard as their mayor said the beaches were safe after a Jaws sighting.

Ah...Waterbury my home town. Way back in the 60s when I was growing up there were no-go zones. Never go to the north end after dark or the blacks will attack you. Watch out going through South Main street where the Puerto Ricans ruled. Italians, Irish and the Polish gave up their beefs to unite as whites. Waterbury is less a melting pot than a piss pot.

Out of an abundance of caution I always stay far away from Waterbury—but thanks for trying, clown mayor.

I’ve never been there, but I thought CT was a big wealthy suburb of new York City.

I knew a person who lived in CT a while ago. They said got all these “services” for paying high taxes and it was worth it. Major eye roll from me.
