So I had a Black Friday online order to pick up, so I headed to the mall right after it opened on Sunday. Parked by Penney's where my pickup was, but wandered down to Barnes & noble to look at journals and games for little gifts. Then this large group of people came rushing through B&N yelling about a shooter. I looked up, and the parking lot was FULL of first responders. It was pretty terrifying. And the worst part was it happened down by Penney's, so I just hovered in the corner of B&N while the police got things sorted out. I didn't hear anything, but apparently they did find two casings, so there actually was a shooter.
I mean, I fucking live in Iowa. WHY ARE PEOPLE SHOOTING AT EACH OTHER IN THE MALL. ESPECIALLY ON A SUNDAY MORNING. It will be a LONG time before I go to the mall again.
