It was a terrible deal - I actually know a lot of people who were in the maill at the time.

By the same token, there wasn't much that probably could have been done. The shooting was over and done with pretty quickly, then the shooter killed himself. Unless there was a CCW person right there, it wouldn't have made a difference.

Another example of someone tipping over - it's unfortunate it had to be during the holiday season, because the mall would have had about one quarter the shoppers at that time of day any other time of year.

My barber had a good analogy (if they could just run the world, right?) - he said it's like a tornado or hurricane going through. It's tragic that people had to lose their lives, but there's nothing that could have reasonably been done to avert, and no reasonable way to avoid it happening again. If someone going to tip over, there isn't much you can do.
