Police: Nine killed in shooting at Omaha mall, including gunman

This is not the way we like to make the national news. A 19-year-old boy entered the mall and started shooting. People kept saying they wouldn’t have imagined this could happen in Omaha, Nebraska. Seriously?

I just feel sorry for the families of those 9 people who weren’t expecting to be dead at the end of the day. Five people are in the hospital; at least 2 of them critically injured.

I spoke to my daughter about it on the way home. She wanted to know if the man with the gun went to jail. I told her that he took the coward’s way out and shot himself.

Besides the actual shooting, there’s nothing I hate more than a shooter unable to take his/her punishment.
