An elderly man was found near an escalator in the store, and police said a young black man was being sought as the suspected shooter. Early indications were that as many as five people may be injured.
Colby Barak told KETV NewsWatch 7 that she was on lockdown inside Westroads Mall. She said she was doing Christmas shopping at Younkers, and an announcement was made that no one would be allowed to leave.
Just before 2 p.m., Barrett said, another announcement was made that shoppers could leave but would not be allowed back in.
Dozens of police and sheriff's cars were arriving at the mall.
A description of the shooter, broadcast over scanners, was that he was in an Army-green vest and was holding a rifle.
Another Westroads shopper, Kathy, told KETV NewsWatch 7 that she heard three pops. She said a Bath and Body Works manager approached her and told her to get out of the mall hallway as there was a situation, and a shooter had not been located.
Perhaps an armed security guard or patron can defend the innocents until the police arrive.
Like one freeper’s tagline: I carry a gun because I can’t carry a cop.
ROP?.......Hannuka, Christmas shoppers........nah...........move on.......
In most malls, even the 'security' guards are not armed. Hopefully, a private citizen is carrying.
kwanza?
Paging Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson.
No thanks, I just had lunch.......
When did Nebraska get concealed carry?
I was listening to a webcast of Glenn Beck from KFAB in Omaha when they broke in with this. Sounds like the shooter is still on the loose in the mall.
Penicillin should clear that right up for ya.
This year, 2007.
No need to worry folks, according to Ron Paul, Mall Security will have everything under control ;0)>
Pimp C’s replacement pimp?
MSNBC all over this, 12 shots fired
Given that this is in Nebraska, I expect there are plenty of armed patrons. The perp better hope police catch him first . . .
That definitely improves this map.
5 people shot
same mall yesterday:
Police Remove Grenade from Westroads Parking Lot
Posted: Dec 1, 2007 04:26 PM CST
Omaha, NE - Police removed a grenade from the parking lot outside Westroads Mall late Friday.
Omaha Police say someone found the grenade in the mall parking lot near The Cheesecake Factory. It was still intact - meaning the pin had not been removed.
Man-0-man, we have to make it illegal for citizens to own grenades. Oh, it already is.........well never mind, ban those guns!
