Kingston's about 20 minutes from my hometown...this is quite disturbing news.
Exactly. Luckily one is in custody and we'll have the facts soon. This does not sound like a typical gangbanger thing.
I don't live far from Kingston....damn this is frightening!
Easy there George ....there have been people shot.....who were only going about their business.
If this was a robbery, wouldn't the criminals go into a store, take the money and then maybe shoot their way out? They wouldn't just walk into a mall and start shooting into a random crowd of people.
"Possibly Hudson Mall?"
Hudson Valley Mall.
I don't know it, but I bet my sister-in-law has been there.
CNN doesn't seem to have it, only Fox.
They are saying "drugs, or maybe even terrorism".
Evidently guys just walked in an opened fire. Reporting of some wounded, no fatalities being reported.
I can't see how this would be a drug related crime.
Here's the update.
"No, it doesn't sound like robbery. Sounds like black members/converts of TROP."
It's crossed my mind too. Scary stuff.
One is captured, one still inside mall - still not many details...
Fox News -
Live now from the mall - via telephone. Woman on the phone said she heard a lot of gun fire...people running out the doors...SWAT Team is on the way now. People are hiding. The mall is in a "lock-down" state. Woman on the phone is calling from a back room of a store. Customers are with her.
Fox...Gap store employee says....swat team on the way..mall in lockdown..
Witness on the phone.
Woman says the guy was dressed in black.
Wonder what religion the attackers are.
One shooter was dressed in black.
TROP?
Police have people in back rooms and so on...police are hunting for the other gunman.
Mall is in a lockdown, awaiting the SWAT team.
Reports man running, dressed in black, shot one round and people running everywhere.
Gap employee rushed customers and employees to back room.
Large man with gun.
Searching for one gunman, other apprehended.
Good Lord...
hubby used to go to this mall for lunch...
