We are good RedMDer. I want to hear from our Marylanders that they are okay as well.

15 minutes from our house in Laurel, and we’re all good!

Safe here. I was asleep. Only way anyone’s going to get me these days is if they shoot up Amazon.com.

Thank you for checking up on us, momtothree. I live in Howard County and go to the Columbia Mall fairly regularly, but I was not there today. I have several friends who were either en route to the Mall or were planning on going there today, but to my knowledge no one I know was there when it happened.

Almost every time I go to the Mall, I eat at the Food Court. I don't patronize Zumiez (I'm not in their target demographic) but I've certainly passed by it often enough. I know it's cliché, but I do have a hard time wrapping my mind around the concept that, yes, it can happen here.
