Right now as I am typing this, there is a massive LEO response taking place at our local mall and all man and vehicle exits are being blocked. It just went over the scanner that a guy brandishing a handgun just went into the "Finish Line" (like a "Footlocker") and walked around the store. A female clerk saw the guy and called for security. Security (unarmed) called for LEO backup, converged on the store and blocked exits in the store vicinity. I'm wondering what LEO response will be like since there is a local dept. actually based in the mall itself and the State Troopers HQ is about 10 minutes away at a casual driving speed.
The amazing thing is............security hung too far back to await LEO backup and now the manhunt just got bigger b/c the guy got away. They CANNOT find him even with eyewitnesses tracking his movements and feeding info via phone to security.
I'll keep my ears to the ground and see what happens. Any new info. and I'll report a.s.a.p. I'm interested to see how this one turns out. The gunman was not identified so far and they are not reporting what his motive might be.....he apparently was looking for someone but the situation is still playing out.
