Thread: Nine killed in shooting at Omaha mall

(CNN) -- A gunman killed eight people and wounded five others Wednesday at the popular Westroads Mall in Omaha, Nebraska, before apparently turning the gun on himself, police said.



The Westroads Mall in Omaha, Nebraska, is locked down after the shooting.
"We do not believe that we have any other shooter," said Sgt. Teresa Negron.
The shooting took place at the Von Maur store inside the shopping complex, which was locked down, the Nebraska State Patrol said.
Shoppers and employees walked out of the building with their hands up. Some described hiding in clothes racks and dressing rooms after hearing the shots.

Hmmm. I wonder if people from all over the world look at Americans as crazy ass cowboys that "terrorize" innocent people for the fuck of it.
They should. The war on terror just lost another battle.

A buddy of mine was over here from Ireland during the Va Tech shooting and it pretty much cemented his thoughts that we are all lunatics.

I went shopping at 4 a.m. on Black Friday after Thanksgiving.
Americans at their best there....
8 police officers had to barricade potential door rushers at Target when the doors opened.
People got hurt last year. The sale of the century on a 37" flatsceen..1080i... $540.

You know what's sad? We are hearing more and more senseless acts of killings that it's just..."oh-another- school-mall-office-shooting". The shock factor has long worn off. Still sad to hear though!

But lord jesus christ forbid if a few isolated acts similar happen abroad. Especially the middle east. Bush's propaganda machine their goober followers would pop a 'roid if this had been the ME.

My point: America is as much a terrorist regime as the next country.

Based on murder-suicide? Was this guy trying to draw attention to a political agenda that I don't know about?

Was it not a terrorist act?
I don't think all the details are in. CNN was vague.
