From what I understand, the shooting had nothing to do with shoppers or the mall. It was not an angry shopper, but it was evidently a drug deal gone bad, and the suspects decided to bring their drugs and their war to the mall. The car involved in the shooting, in which the one man was killed and the other one wounded, had large amounts of drugs in it.
Unfortunately, these idiots had no regards for others' safety. They come to a busy mall with many shoppers, and know that the parking lot would be crawling with shoppers and cars. Maybe they thought they would be safe if they went to a mall to hide. The thing is, drug dealers don't care who they hurt or whose lives are destroyed
.
I am just thankful that no innocent people in the parking lot were injured because of all this chaos, especially no children. It is sad, though, that holiday shoppers had to see this happen at a mall in broad daylight. This will be something that will be etched in their minds for a long time.
