It's a "given" that they will be beefing up mall security. (I expect they will be paying more security guards to open carry Glocks around the mall, particularly at this time of year. And they'll probably be installing better, higher definition security cameras and security software.)

The mall is huge, and far enough away from Newark that this won't cause it to close. Millburn NJ had a homicide rate of about -0- before this. It's a bolt-of-lightning event that's unusual enough that it made the national news.

And unless the perps wore space suits, they left enough evidence behind in the car that they should be arrested, eventually. My guess is within the week.

Maybe. I hope you're right.

My guess is they start hauling all that expensive marble out of there as soon as Cartier, Hermes, Tiffany, and Max Mara wave bye-bye.
