Probably no connection but it does feel like the scene from a recent novel or two, or perhaps a 24 episode.

How convenient. 1 month into the Donkey control and we get perfectly symetrical (east coast / west coast) Manchurian killings.

Somebody get the popcorn...

From KSL.com:
"The suspect has been killed. He is no longer a threat," Snyder said.

The man entered the mall about 6:45 p.m. and began shooting randomly, she said.

Two employees of the Williams-Sonoma store, near the southwest corner of Trolley Square, told KSL they heard shots and breaking glass from the area of the west parking garage. They say they saw a gunman, probably in his 20s and wearing a trench coat, come into the mall from the parking garage.

The two-story mall, just southeast of downtown, is a refurbished old trolley barn, with a series of winding hallways and about 80 stores, including the Hard Rock Cafe and an Old Spaghetti Factory.

An antique-store owner, Barrett Dodds, 29, said he saw a man in a trench coat exchanging gunfire with a police officer outside a card store. The gunman was backed into a children's clothing store.

"I saw the cops go in the store. I saw the shooter go down," said Dodds, who watched from the second floor.

Barb McKeown, 60, of Washington, D.C., was in another antique shop when two frantic women ran in and reported gunshots.

"Then we heard shot after shot after shot -- loud, loud, loud," said McKeown, who believes she heard approximately 20 shots.

She and three other people hid under a store staircase until it was safe to leave.

"We live in Washington, D.C. We're used to gunshots," said McKeown, wrapped in a blanket across the street. "I thought I was coming home to safety city."

Initial reports indicated at least six people are involved in various areas of the mall, including the Hard Rock Café, Pottery Barn Kids and the west garage. The initial call for help came from the Sharper Image store. We do not know the condition of any of the reported victims.

Another woman says she saw a man with short hair, wearing a coat and carrying a shotgun. She says he looked anxious as he wandered around with the gun.

If you go to this link, there are several pictures (nothing graphic.) Just many policeman holding weapons.

Nope. Both perps are dead. The one in Philly supposedly by his own hand, and the one in Salt Lake, apparently killed by SWAT.

Shotgun used in the Salt Lake killings, per news reports. (But we all know that reporters don't know a shotgun from a SMG.)

The news feed is linked from Drudge.

Trench-coated, pump action shotgun. Sounds like a Columbine stylist.

That's just messed up. Two mass shootings in one day. There was those string of school shootings in October, like the string of shootings from 1997 to 1999.
