In case you all haven't heard there has been a shooting at the Tacoma Mall. Which is about 30 min from here. Fortunatly I was not there but I DO know people who were. From eye witness reports there was a white male with an AK47 shooting at people starting in Kits Cameras. This effects me because my family is friends with the owner of Kits. Ugh.

There is still chaos right now but it started an hour ago. 6 people have been taken to the hospital, 1 in critical. The mall is in lockdown. The suspect is held up in the Sam Goodie store and at one point held a 9 year old boy hostage.

This happened an hour ago and it's still going nuts.

A friend of mine's family was in the mall when it happened but they escaped thru Sears.

After 4 hours it's all over. The gunman was caught and the 3 people being held hostage in Sam Goodie were released. Still don't know the name of the gunman tho.
