I just checked in with my family members in Omaha. They are ok, thank God! That mall is not far away from where they live either!

I’ve called there, too, and everyone is accounted for. I’m glad your family is OK too.

This is just too close for comfort.
 
Thank goodness my family is ok too. My mom said she was going to stop by Von Maur on her way home from lunch today but continued on instead. Prayers for all involved.
 
All my family is accounted for. Atleast it seems none of us would typically go out there, but you never know. I still worry I have a friend who used to work there, haven’t spoken to her for a while, wondering if she might have started working there. At least it’d conflict with her other job. I still feel bad, knowing she might know some of them. It’ll be a bit tense until all the victems are known. 😦 Hard to keep on my studies with this.

Prayers for all those who need them.
 
Prayers going up for all those involved in or affected by this latest tragic episode. May God have mercy on the souls of the departed, and give the families/friends peace and comfort.

Have they released any names yet?
 
We all hate to hear about these incidents, but I really despise the way the media portrays these tragedies. Just wait till all the stories come out about the “poor shooter”. It’s not that I don’t feel some measure of compassion for someone that severely depressed, but our focus should be on the families and victims, not someone who was too weak to control his homocidal tendencies.

And get ready for the “Congressional Investigation of Mall Security”. Yeah, it’s the mall’s fault, not the shooter’s. :mad: Am I being unfair?
 
Names have been realesed. Should be able to find them soon on the web, if not pm me.
 
My friend’s girlfriend is among the dead. He’s a Gross High grad, was set to get engaged soon. She worked there at customer service.

I should clarify that I didn’t know her well. I met her for the first time over Thanksgiving. We sat together at the bar. I’ve known her fiance pretty much since birth.

Still too close for comfort, isn’t it?
 
My daughter and granddaughter work at a Mall and I wish they didn’t, they have security there but we just can’t know if enough is enough. It is sad for all families involved.
If you are shopping and have a gut feeling about anything just leave it is the best thing.
