My granddaughter just texted from a barricaded stockroom during an active shooter scene. She is in Tyson's Corner, Va- a very affluent DC suburb- visiting her boyfriend. My first reaction was panic and tears, but I think she will be OK. Prayers welcome.
We couldn't find anything in the news. But, apparently, shootings happen there often.
eta
Got some news- shots reported. They are now clearing the mall store by store.
ETA She's safe now and has exited.

I am so sorry to hear that Tela. Some human beings are horrible people. Prayers headed your granddaughter's way. I hope she is okay.

Thanks- we just saw that, too. Other reports say more - including injuries from evacuation. We'll see when things settle down.
She's doing ok and has a sense of humor about it. I hope she isn't in Nordstrom's. That's where the reports are coming from.

rockjunquie Im glad shes safe. The world is only getting more and more evil. Unfortunately that is what happens when they go soft on crime, want to defund the police, other are leaving or retiring because of crap going on, they eliminated bail, they let criminals out due to covid concerns, and people went a bit stir crazy with the lockdowns.

Glad to hear it ended well. Thursday while I was training for my new part time job there was an alert for the area I drive through to go home, according to someone in the office. Turned out to be a Karen who calls in every percieved gunshot noise in rural Arizona, and they are required to put it into the system until they find out what it is.

I think we finally got the whole story. The previous day, two gangs exchanged fire in the mall, so everyone was on edge. A chandelier fell outside Nordstroms and scared the crap out of everyone and forced a rush for the doors with people yelling it was gunshots.

Fear does some wild things to people, especially en masse. Glad she's OK, and has a story to tell at least

The last couple decades I been on high alert always looking for the first defensible object and or escape path Like to believe I’d be brave enough to confront a threat Won’t know till it goes down Which I hope I’m never in that situation Yet I figure the odds are pretty good Never really crossed my mind many decades ago All those rock concerts ectall Yet societal condition are deteriorating. Cooperation is at all time low That is bad omen And many want bloodshed Well I don’t want to make it to gloomy Butte condition are stressed And there have always been the deranged suggest a really good study Much of it would be of local interest And obviously highly charged political tomzoellner.com/a-safeway-in-arizona/Nonetheless less Zoellner is fair and keen eyed
