      XPost: ba.politics, dc.media, soc.penpals       XPost: alt.burningman       From: abernstein@no87.edu              Another drugged up hypnotized liberal zombie of the Obama gun       control goons, armed and turned loose on the public.              CNN) -- The gunman who killed two workers Saturday at a Maryland       mall was identified Sunday as Darion Marcus Aguilar, Howard       County Police Chief Bill McMahon said.              Aguilar arrived by cab about an hour before the shootings, and       his movements at the mall were limited, McMahon said. He added       that Aguilar, 19, fired between six and eight shots from a 12-       gauge shotgun. That included a self-inflicted fatal shot.              On Saturday, police said the gunman carried "a large amount of       ammunition" and apparent makeshift explosives. He killed 21-year-       old Brianna Benlolo and 25-year-old Tyler Johnson at the busy       Columbia mall before turning the shotgun on himself, police said.              Aguilar purchased the gun, made by Mossberg, in December, the       chief said Sunday at a morning update for reporters.              The shootings, which also left five others injured, ended a       violent week which saw shootings or gun scares at American       schools or shopping centers -- ordinary places where people once       felt safe.              McMahon told reporters that the shooter's motive was unclear. He       said authorities were investigating whether Aguilar knew either       of the victims.              Both worked at Zumiez, a shop that caters to skaters, on the       second floor of The Mall in Columbia.              Benlolo was an assistant manager at the store and had worked       there since November 2012, according to her Facebook page.              Johnson had worked at the store for about three months,       according to his Facebook page.              The body of the suspected shooter was found near a shotgun on       the floor of Zumiez, police said, along with unspent ammunition.              Late Saturday, police revealed that "two crude devices that       appeared to be an attempt at making explosives using fireworks"       were found inside the shooter's bag inside the store. "Both were       disabled," police added.              The first 911 call about the shooting came at about 11:15 a.m.       and officers were in the mall within two minutes, police said.              The shooting "seems to have been very contained to that store       and the area just outside," McMahon told reporters.              Police entered the mall within minutes of the first 911 calls       and found three people dead. The scene was secure shortly before       1 p.m., police said.              Investigators said there were thousands of people in the mall at       the time, with many hiding in fear behind store counters, in       restrooms or in fitting rooms for hours after the shooting       stopped.              "Think about this, on a Saturday afternoon at the mall, how many       people may be in there," McMahon said. "Something like this       happens and people run in many directions, and they also do what       we train them to do -- to shelter in place."              Five people were transported to Howard County General Hospital,       a hospital spokeswoman said in a statement. All were treated and       later released.              Four of them suffered injuries related to the chaotic scene       after the shots rang out, including one with a seizure and at       least one with a sprained ankle, according to McMahon.              The other injured victim suffered a gunshot wound to the foot.       Police said Saturday night that that woman wasn't in Zumiez;       rather she was on the first floor when she was struck.              A federal official briefed on the shooting told CNN that       preliminary information indicates the shooting may have been       related to a domestic dispute.              McMahon said Sunday that police had yet to determine that but       learned Saturday night that one of the victims lived near the       shooter.              http://www.cnn.com/2014/01/26/us/maryland-mall-shooting/                             --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
