At least ten shot, probably more. Point is the story says machine guns were used, but a witness claims one attacker had a handgun.
But headline focuses on machine guns as the weapon...

Could be wrong, but I thought she said "hand held".

This is probably a jewelry robbery gone awry, young gangsters with 9mms. There actually are ghetto areas nearby, like Newburgh and Poughkeepsie.

Tom Clancy did a book on this a couple years ago. terrorists went into the mall and walked thru firing on all they could find and see. Fortunately there were a couple guys w/ spec Ops training who took em out. Now, tell me that Americans having CWP (concealed weapons permits) and packing could not have stopped this, it not killed the apes who did this, wouldn't have been a good thing!

If more people were packing, there would be a LOT less idiots doing crap like this. Particularly if they did not know who was or wasn't packing. A mall is a juicy target, because most CWP holders are male, not female. I am telling ya, if more of us were armed, the less likely this would be to happen!!!
