Armed standoff at Tacoma Mall (WA)
Eyewitness ^ | 11/20/05 | Ramius

Posted on 11/20/2005 12:41:22 PM PST by Ramius

Two separate reports, one from my Dad and one from a friend... both at Tacoma Mall. Not being allowed inside, due to "someone inside with a semiautomatic shooting in the mall".

Large number of police on the scene, sealing the exits. Not letting anyone in or out.

Will post a source as soon as I have one.

Yes, they are outside.

NWCN now has it. Callers are reporting shots fired inside, maybe gang activity. My Dad is across the highway, reports dozens of police cars. My friend is stuck in the parking lot in traffic, was on the way in but now is stuck trying to leave the parking lot. She talked to people who'd run out right at first.

After hitting the link for the news paper and seeing the conviction of a murderer and a memorial for a murder victim It does seem surprising that the mall incident is going on. Isn't this in a "BLUE" state ?

Yes. But that doesn't make this any less bad. Perhaps your political asides can wait until the dead (if any) have left the building.

My Dad is across the highway...

Please tell your Dad to get away from there and to take refuge in a safe place [assuming you are in phone contact].

Actually, WA is a "shall issue" state. Maybe there's a citizen that could help this time. Would be nice.

Holy Cow! I have friends out there. I hope they didn't decide to go to the Mall today.

My friend (a cop) NEVER goes to a mall off duty without his gun....for this reason.

I'm sorry I have no Heart (note the handle). Let's hope it comes out to be a "no casualty" event.

Moderator... Can you put this better link above?

Maybe this should be in Breaking news for a while?

Prayers for the innocents caught in the crossfire.

The cops would probly shoot the wrong person with a firearm.

Not exactly. King County is blue, and they rigged our last Goveror's election.

But we should have a solid conservative Republican as Governor, but as for now, we have a screeching witch.

Let's raise taxes THIS much!
