Mall Shooting


With the bad deal in Omaha yesterday, I was reminded by WBAP this morning of the shooting at Irving Mall in 1993 when a guy got shot in the head at the food court. I think the victim had a famous name, but I haven't looked it up yet.

And I'm convinced the WBAP's Hal Jay (who is now co-hosting a one hour show between 8 and 9 with Mark Davis) may be the dumbest man in America. He asked this morning whether it would be legal for a licensed conceal and carry guy to shoot the killer yesterday if the same mall shooting had happened in Texas. Then he asked if the shooter in Omaha did it for publicity. Uh, the suicide note where he said he wanted to "go out in style" might answer that question. But Hal, who had been listening to the news all morning, didn't know there was a suicide note.
