Why Michael's? Anyone know any background information on the company?

Stores in about 40 or so states, plus Canada; they're among the few companies on Wall Street who has not taken a bath in terms of their stock price; other than that, I can't think of anything that would make them any more or less succepetable to being a terror target.

Michael, this still isn't hitting the main stream news. What do you think? Is an hour delay unusual? Or is there a substantial chance this shooting is unconnected?

I hope somebody is looking for recent short sales of their stock....

Michael's also hits closer to home for most people than say, an airplane crash. Moms will understand that they are targets too, not just wealthy corporate businessmen flying around the world.
