SKL Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Someone on facebook said they had the mall and a couple of nearby buildings locked down, and people were hiding in various back rooms of stores. Hopefully most stay out of harm's way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catwoman Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Have you heard anything yet? The news reports are saying the shooter is dead and that he killed three people. (Edited to add: Now they are saying that three people have died, including the shooter.) This is horrible. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KungFuPanda Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 The Howard County Police Department has been updating their Facebook page. Their regular website seems to be too overloaded to display. It seems they have the situation in hand. I don't hear the helicopters any more.

I will definitely keep ya'll posted. Once again thank you for your prayers, good thoughts and concern. Although I lurk way more than I post, this board is truly a support system for me.

QueenCat Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 initial reports are it was very targeted. he shot a female and a male store employees, and then killed himself. That's what I've heard too. My FB news page has been flooded with reports, from all of my hometown friends. It really does appear targeted, and that the gunman is deceased.

UmmiSays Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 Hi again, I have located my sister! She is ok, she was not at the mall. I am hearing from my neighbors that it was hard to get in touch with people near the mall via cell phone. I have been so shaky(panicky)....Tuesday was the 1 year anniversary of my father's death so I just couldn't stop thinking the worst for my family.... Please continue praying for the victims family. Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
