Active shooter situation at Wisconsin mall

Please let everyone be safe. And please let the shooter be white and fat.

Kyle Rittenhouse was just released on bail...just saying

A positive sign that America is getting back to normal

Finally, things are getting back to normal!

More evidence of vote fraud!

That's not blood that's Just for Men!

We warned you to stay away from indoor spaces!

Damn, news gets on DL faster than if does CNN.

R6, this is why I love this site so much. Thank you!

Fake news!

A person was found inside the mall trying to be fight COVID 19 using their right to bare arms.

God bless America!

More deplorables...

@JonathanLanday · Nov 19 Trump's lawyer Sidney Powell is now encouraging pro-Trump militias to "retake this country."

Why are people at the mall?

Also, this is what I think of as the often crazy senseless crime season---you see really ugly murders, sad patehtic hostage situations, etc. and often not in the usual 'hoods and 'burgs associated with violent crime. We'll be seeing more of this sort of thing.

Dollars to donuts this is some sad, crazy Trumptard.

Strictly baseless speculation, but it could be a person upset that that Kyle Rittenhouse little shit is out on bail. This is an upscale mall.

Is the shooter wearing a mask at least?

Honey--it's in WISCONSIN. How upscale can it be?

There's wealth everywhere. Get out more often.

I thought there were no malls anymore, that they were driven out of business.

R13 Could you post that in my thread on Powell? Forgive my ignorance, but who is Jonathan Landay?

Gawd, I cannot wait until January 20, 2021.

These poor folks. If it’s not Covid taking them out, it’s some asshole with a gun.

We’re such a sick country. I just don’t get it. I really don’t.

R16 is right. Macy's used to be Marshall Field and this is where Nordstrom's only full-line WI store is located (and it's quite beautiful)

No Kohl's here

Are the hostages socially distancing?

This is going to turn into a super spreader event.

r24, no reports of hostages. Do keep up if you're going to try to be funny.

R21 - Jonathan Landay's bio on Twitter: @Reuters DC National Security Correspondent

ATLANTA: Police said one male was shot and wounded inside Lenox Square, located in the 3300 block of Peachtree Road at around 3 p.m. on Friday afternoon. Atlanta Police said the shooting happened inside the Apple Store, located near the Peachtree Road entrance to the mall.

According to Atlanta Police Officer Anthony Grant, the man who was shot was struck in the buttocks following an argument with what he called a "group of male suspects." One of them shot the victim in the rear, then left in what Grant said appeared to be a blue Chrysler Pacifica with Georgia license plate number CML8659...

Over the past year, there have been six shootings at the mall, one of the largest shopping centers in the region -- including one shooting involving an officer.

= = = Related or just one of our usual crazies... and WTF is a Chrysler Pacifica?

R27 Cheers

A minivan, r28.

Biden country.

SHITS FIRED!

I've been marveling for a while now that despite all of the tumult over the summer and lockdown psychosis, we haven't had a mass shooting event. I did tell myself "yet."

It's been WAY too long since we had a proper shooting. And just in time for Thanksgiving. Praise be to Jesus.

Insert William Tell joke here

Typical day in gun crazy America ..where there are more guns than people.

Why the fuck at people at a mall??

I bet the shooter was a NRA member..those people are all gun crazy.

Wauwatosa is a very nice suburb of Milwaukee, isn't it? Like Winnetka or Lake Forest would be to Chicago.

A shooting at Lenox? That's really an upscale mall.

Bloomingdale's, Neiman-Marcus, and Macy's.

WTF is going on today?

No r39, not that wealthy or nice.

The WI shooter was probably a white Deplorable man. The Atlanta shooting (group of men at the Apple Store) was probably a black man.

Maybe I'm thinking of Waukesha, r41?

Mayfair Mall would be middle of the road anywhere else, but since most of the rest of suburban Milwaukee is old, fat, blotchy German immigrants waddling to the Golden Corral while whining about Them There Blacks In The City, Mayfair looks almost upscale in comparison.

R39 Wauwautosa and/or Waukesha are both more along the lines of Bolingbrook or Aurora. It would take them quite a stretch to even make it to the level of Naperville, and as Beth Jarrett would say, Buck would NEVER have shopped at Mayfair.

Does it have a Bath and Body Works? I'm boycotting the one in Appleton.

Lenox has had multiple shootings in the last couple years. It's an odd mall---it started out as an old school shopping center that was later enclosed. Pretty ordinary with some oddly thrown together sections, with a mix of ordinary in fairly upscale stores. The super lux mall, Phipps Plaza is across the street but has had lots of ups and downs. Gaudy and a little vulgar but more obviously upscale than Lenox, although not as "exclusive" as it once was.

So it’s not a mads shooting? Just one fight between two guys?

Mass*

Wisconsin???

I suspect it started as a dispute over the last Yankee Candle "Girl Scout Thin Mint" scent and got ugly from there.

They shot up my Hickory Farms Cheese gift box and shattered my Winter's Frost Yankee Candle.

[quote] Honey--it's in WISCONSIN. How upscale can it be?

But we have a Chico’s and a Cheesecake Factory!!!!!! And our rights as Americans to shoot or infect anyone we want. Freedoms!!1! Go Pack!!!

[Quote]These people in debt should have went to community college

Oh, dear,, but perfect thread, hon.

Good question, R37. Wisconsin has the fourth worst coronavirus numbers right now.

"“We are disheartened and angered that our guests and tenants were subject to this violent incident today,” the mall said in a statement. "

The phrasing amuses me.

By this point, don't eyewitness reports usually start trickling out about what happened -- what the shooter acted like beforehand, if he said anything, whether he targeted specific people, etc.? No police press conference. Very little on Twitter.

Still not much information except:

[Quote]Officers said the shooting is believed to be the result of an altercation and not a random act.

Biden should use this press conference to issue a national lockdown akin to what they've been doing in Europe. Everything but the grocery store shut down, and even that be given limited entry.

Proud Boys a little slow off the mark.

So who was it?

It's not a mass shooting, just a fight between two idiots with guns. Kind of hard to do a mass shooting during COVID.
