3 Dead in Shooting at Maryland Mall

HeadlineJan 27, 2014

Three people are dead after a gunman opened fire in a Maryland shopping mall before taking his own life. The gunman was 19 years old, while the victims were 21- and 25-year-old employees of a skateboard store. A witness described the scene.

Anthony Madole: “I was in Sears looking around, and I heard a bang, and I said, 'Man, that kind of sounds like a gunshot.' And then I see people running, and I heard some people screaming, and I heard it again, and it was just boom, boom, boom. And people just started screaming and running, and it was just complete madness. And I got out as quick as I could. You know, I definitely heard at least four or five gunshots.”

In another incident of gun violence, a student was killed Friday in a campus shooting at South Carolina State University. It was at least the fifth school shooting in the United States this month.
