Possible shooting at Dallas shopping mall prompts evacuation; 1 person in custody UPDATE: False Alarm

#3   Sure seems like there is an uptick in these incidents lately.

More violence, yes, but also the FBI has lowered the bar on what is labelled a mass murder attack — three or more people being shot, I believe, instead of “lots”. So what used to be murder-suicide or intra-gang jockeying for position are suddenly counted as mass murder alongside 9/11 and the accountant who rented a 10th floor hotel room so he could shoot up the concert crowd on the patio in Las Vegas.

But in this case it was a false alarm — according to the Sun

NO SHOOTING AND NO INJURIES, POLICE REPORT
The Dallas Police have confirmed that there was no active shooter at NorthPark Center mall today.

While speaking to press at the scene, they said that a "mentally disturbed" person was banging a skateboard, sounding like gunshots.

The person also made hand gestures as if he was shooting a gun.

Police confirmed there were no injuries.

#2  No way not to notice that. It's not as though the last year has not demonstrated an under class of the intellectually and morally challenged; what would they do for a square G each. At some point you have to ask just how much Little Mikey and Uncle Georgey want to disarm America.
