ANOTHER SCHOOL/PUBLIC SHOOTING

[FAHQTOO]

3 SHOT TO DEATH TODAY AND BALTIMORE MALL



From the Associated Press:

Police in Maryland say three people died Saturday in a shooting at a mall in suburban Baltimore, including the presumed gunman.

Howard County police said via Twitter that a shooting had taken place at the Mall in Columbia, a suburb of both Baltimore and Washington.

Authorities received a call to 911 at around 11:15 a.m. to report that shots had been fired. Police responded to the scene and found three people dead, including one person who was found near gun and ammunition. Police said they believed that one of people who was found dead was the shooter.

There is no other information available about the two other people at this time.

The scene was "believed to be secure" police said in a tweet issued at about 12:36 p.m.

The mall is at the center of the town, a suburb of both Baltimore and Washington.

The mall typically opens at 10 a.m. on Saturdays and it was not known how many shoppers or workers might have been present at the time of the shooting.

I'm ashamed to admit I'm starting to get numb to these stories, unless there are children involved.

10 years ago all these mass shooters would have been a single bullet to their own brain, or a bottle of pills. Of course they're all mental. Mental people commit suicide. Mental people go out and shoot multiple people. Sane people don't do these kind of things.

I'm not painting everyone with a mental health issue with the same brush...common sense says you know what I'm trying to say.

I feel horrible for the innocent people caught in the crossfire.
