Thanks for the update. Maybe they were just hit by flying debris of some sort. It must have been a chaotic scene. But, thankfully, no one has died (yet).
I always wonder what would be the best thing to do in a scenario like this? Run to the nearest store and out the back? Duck under a table? Hop behind the food counter?
The malls here in my area were packed today with people starting their Christmas shopping.
New articles like these are very disconcerting.
Dear Palladin,
"Maybe they were just hit by flying debris of some sort. It must have been a chaotic scene."
Perhaps. But the fellow who reported the injury of the elderly couple, Mr. Leone, almost certainly didn't see any of the action take place. He was at a store, Borders, that is across from one side of the food court in Annapolis Mall. But the shooting happened in front of a restaurant more toward the other side of the food court. There are several vendors impeding the view from Borders, and other problems leading to a very obstructed view.
The report tells us that folks started running away. I'm not sure that any eyewitness could accurately recount what actually happened.
"New articles like these are very disconcerting."
They are disconcerting to read about, but their infrequency should be somewhat consoling.
