Fox 59 - Several people were shot at Washington Square Mall

[Denny347]

I go to that Target, Dicks, and the movie theater. My money is that none of the "victims" are telling much.

I got $50 on the gun came from Don's or Pop's.

I go to Dicks and Target on occasion. Also use to step foot in the mall to that pet adoption place when we were looking for a new puppy -not sure if it is there anymore or not.

I remember as a kid having to walk from the outskirts of the parking lot to get inside around Christmas time. Now you can almost get front row without having to try.

Actual, factual details seem scarce. Reports that the the media was pushed back by mall security is to blame^

Let's see if this one makes the national news:


Multiple people injured in shooting at Washington Square Mall - 13 WTHR Indianapolis

It made FOX nationwide news on the radio .....

I saw an Ingo LEO in the news footage in front of the store.

It's amazing how every shooting becomes national news. The media is determined to keep running these stories in an effort to push "Washington" to do something.

Haven't been to Washington Square in decades. What a hell hole. Surprised people don't get killed there everyday.

 

[Brandon]

Other than not much is in there, why would you think people would be killed there every day? Still have a couple of nice anchor stores, I'll give you it isn't what it was years ago, but not bad. Out lots still have nice businesses around, places across the street aren't bad or close to being bad.

Only thing that comes to mind of being not the greatest is one apartment complex tucked away on a side street to the east of the mall.

Wouldn't be surprised if its a plant from the Obama administration to further his point about Indiana's "weak" gun laws.

This, much like sandy hook

 

[dbrier]

Shooter is still on the loose.

I doubt it. In my opinion, just some savage that doesn't know how to deal with being disrespected, so he solves his "problem" with a gun.
Same savage has very little value for human life, and could care less about those by standers that got hit. He never practices with his gun, just at times like these. He has NO business owning a firearm, I just wish an armed citizen had been there to smoke his a$$.

Any store that has a no gun sign is a gfz. Not everyone knows the signs carry no weight of law in indiana. Many will see the sign and follow the rules. Criminals dont.

Likely picked up by national news outlets because "Washington Square Mall" sounds alot like "Washington Mall" - you know, the place with things like the Lincoln Memorial. Clickbait 101: Make Something Sound Like Something Else.

My grandmother lives far eastside, and I remember going to Washington Square as a kid. It was fun and seemed different from Castleton, in my youth. For some reason, went through there a few years ago. It didn't seem so nice.

I saw an Ingo LEO in the news footage in front of the store.

Was he wearing a sweet hat?

Sure.

 

[T.Lex]

Hey BBI - seeing you post here made me wonder, if the original target wasn't "random" but the casualties (well, at least 1 of them) wasn't the intended target, would this get counted in your other data?

It seems like this would get tricky, definitionally. Probably better to rely on complete randomness - no known connection whatsoever, even if it limits the sample size.

Such a shame for an area that was once a really nice place to be. As a kid, my aunt and uncle lived not far from there. We used to go Trick-or-Treating in their neighborhood with my cousins without a care in the world. Now, it's a place you don't want to be after dark, and even during daylight hours, it can be sketchy.

I've got mixed feelings about fleeing to the suburbs, because at one time, this WAS the suburbs. If all the good citizens leave, there will be no one left to make a stand. Then again, maybe there's not as much left in that area worth fighting for, which is why the folks who can afford to do so are leaving.

Why hasn't the alleged shooter been identified at this point? The victim argued with the shooter, so he knows who it is. No info on news outlets, which means he's probably a ....

Ahhh fuggedaboutit. The news bureaus here are busy covering sports. No time to do hard news with facts.

If I've learned anything from watching Homeland... this is definitely a CIA cover-up.
