Recent shooting at mall in Delaware [View all]
A 17-year old and his two younger accomplices had some kind of argument at the food court at the Christiana Mall in Delaware. The 17-year-old shooter shot several people (no deaths, fortunately) but there was pandemonium at the mall. I know several people who were there when it happened. Our local newspaper interviewed some folks that were there, including 13-year-old Penny and her younger siblings. I'm afraid the article may be for subscribers only, but I'll link anyway. But some of their thoughts really struck me:
Penny described it as “the average American life.” They assumed something like this would happen, but not at a mall.
“I always knew a shock like this would happen to me," 7-year-old Andy told his oldest sister, "but I thought it would be at school."
