BLOOMINGTON, Minn. (AP) — Five people were arrested in the fatal shooting of a 19-year-old man at the Mall of America that sent the sprawling commercial center into lockdown on one of the final days of the holiday shopping season, police said Saturday.
At an evening news conference, Bloomington Police Chief Booker Hodges announced the arrests in connection with the Friday night shooting in the Minneapolis suburb of Bloomington and said all would face murder charges, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported.

The chief added that one of the 18-year-olds is believed to be the shooter, though another suspect may also have fired a weapon. A sixth suspect was still being sought.

But wait, it gets better:
Since it opened in 1992, the Mall of America has been a tourist destination and community gathering spot. It bans guns on the premises, but shoppers have generally not been required to pass through metal detectors. The mall said in October it was testing a “weapons detection system” at one of its entrances.
The mall was placed on lockdown in August after a reported shooting sent some shoppers running for cover, and two people were wounded last New Year’s Eve during an apparent altercation.
Malls officially belong to the urban boneyard and this one will not be the exception. Even the slowest-witted partner of the mall knows it will be the French kiss of death to subject the shoppers to TSA-Airport-Style searches to buy sneakers when the online shopping enterprises is a very comfortable and less intrusive option.
You CANNOT fix stupid… its a simple cure that liberals will never get.
Ignorance can be educated.
Crazy can be medicated.
Stupid is forever.
That’s the great thing about Indiana. Those signs don’t mean dick here…
Not in NH, either. Except that, if asked to leave by management and you refuse, you can be arrested for trespassing.
But isn’t that true in any case, guns or no guns?
The magic sign didn’t work. Whoda thunk it. 8>)
