Going postal at the mall

captpackratI was driving down the freeway this afternoon when a bunch of police cars zoomed past with their lights on. An unmarked, too. They didn't appear to be in pursuit of anyone, and they soon got far enough ahead that I couldn't see them anymore, so I forgot about it.
As I was getting off the freeway at Dodge Rd, I saw a police helicopter circling above the area. I began to wonder what was going on, but I just continued on my way.
I got to the Costco and inside a bunch of people were gathered around a radio, listening to a news broadcast.
Apparently some kid had just shot up the Westroads Mall, just the other side of the freeway from the Costco. 8 or 9 people killed, more injured. Yikes. Well, that explains the cops and the helo.
Glad I decided not to go to the mall today.
