TINLEY PARK, Ill. — Four people died in an Illinois mall shooting on Saturday, according to a Chicago Tribune report attributed to the county coroner.
More than a dozen ambulances were at the Harlem-Irving Plaza mall in Tinley Park, about 30 miles southwest of Chicago, and the shopping center was locked down, MyFoxChicago.com reported.

Good catch. This was at a new strip mall at 191st and Harlem in Tinley.
Who was joking? Guns are illegal in Cook county (for all practical purposes.)
correction: HIP is in Norridge, adjacent to Chicago. I was fuzzy on where the border was.

I saw that. It's not a strip mall, though. I think this is typical slovenly reportage.
At the time it wasn’t known that people had been killed. They were waiting. Jokes were ok. Not now though.
Are you a he or she ?
I know,
Four people are dead and one wounded.
If the fifth was shot in the back of the head she’s probably hurt pretty bad. Prayers.
They will get this guy!
Yall see the brady thread above this? Ironic.
“Who was joking? Guns are illegal in Cook county (for all practical purposes.)”
Not really.
Handguns are effectively banned to law abiding citizens in Chicago, Skokie, and a few other suburbs. But most of the rest of the county is ok.
“They will get this guy!”

Yup. The reward will be high enough that someone will drop a dime.
The headline was an invitation to ridicule; the result was that a bunch of snide, silly and quite rude comments were elicited until, finally, the thread began to devolve into a pi$$ing contest and the moderator stepped in.
One of the biggest problems around here with trying to have a rational discussion or debate is the lack of substance in the article posting that leads to the development of the thread itself.
The rush to publish, the urge to splurge allows for mass confusion, frustration and sheer giddiness.
As it turns out, now that clearer heads have prevailed, there just isn’t enough at the source to make good judgments about what is known.
Illinois is a gun-free zone (for the most part)
A he, but don’t worry, my she carries more ammo than I do...8-)
I was gonna say never mind but will you ask her if she has any links she can send me. I’m looking for a handbag with a locked space for my “gun” I have little kids around now so I keep it locked up.
