ROSEMONT, Ill. (AP) — A masked gunman opened fire in a suburban Chicago shopping mall, leaving one man dead and wounding at least one other person — a teenage girl who was found in washroom after shoppers ran for cover, police said.

The gunman, in his mid-20s, opened fire just after 7 p.m. Friday near the food court at the Fashion Outlets of Chicago mall in Rosemont, a village just northwest of the city, Rosemont Police Sgt. Joe Balogh told the Chicago Tribune on Saturday. Police did not release a motive for the shooting but said it was a targeted attack.

The gunman then fled in a car with “other unknown subjects, he said.

More than two hours after the shooting, police stopped that vehicle on an expressway in Chicago, Balogh said. The car’s owner was taken into custody and was being questioned as a person of interest, he said. A gun was seized as evidence, but no charges have been announced.

2. Another Morning

Another gun massacre. America—where metal has more rights than human flesh.

I’m officially old now and the past 50 years of “American capitalist society” sucks. At the end of the “fair” competition, there is one man left with all the money and billions upon billions of destitute mothers and children.

It’s a game that must have controls to prevent/slow/challenge/tax a winner.

For example, the richest man in the world now threatens to destroy the Earth planet with nuclear weapons if he doesn’t get more.

More, it’s the enemy of enough.

So I’m bummed. The richest thief in the world—Putin—teamed with who he propped up to be the richest person in America—Trump (grave miscalculation)—to conquer the world. And instead, this is what we got from the two richest men on the world stage. Not world peace but world chaos.

Pathetic—I gotta look for more adjectives.

3. Soon as I read "masked" I knew it wasn't a random shooting.

Those random freaks tend to not care about being seen & they also rarely try to escape
