On Wednesday, I decided that I needed to do some shopping. I was going to meet a friend at Westroads mall. I went there a bit before she did. While browsing around in Dicks Sporting Goods, I notice a commotion with the sales clerks. One approaches me and the few other women standing there in that area, asks us not to panic and he needs us to proceed downstairs. I ask why. "Because there is a man firing a gun in Von Maur." When I left the mall, they weren't sure what was going on inside. They told us if we were parked in the immediate area to run to our cars and exit the parking lot. I was escorted out of a mall by two armed police officers because someone "snapped" and felt the need to cause harm and kill innocent people.
