A man with a rifle opened fire at a busy department store Wednesday, killing eight people before taking his own life, in an attack that made holiday shoppers barricade themselves in dressing rooms. Five more people were wounded, two critically.
Witnesses said the gunman fired down on shoppers from a third-floor balcony of the Von Maur store.
The gunman was found dead on the third floor with a self-inflicted gunshot wound, and his victims were discovered on the second and third floors, police said.
I’m so tired of these cowardly attacks in schools and shopping malls. Why can’t these nuts just kill themselves instead of committing mass murder.
