Earlier they quoted 2 people who said they did hear a gunshot
What I just fired off to Mayfair via their website...
Hello,
I just wanted to send a quick thank you to your mall for making it easier for me to save my money, as I will never shop at your property or any property owned by you when you have a gun free zone. You have created this gun free zone to ensure the safety of your customers, and I'm glad to hear that it's been working. I'm pleased to know that there will never be any gun related violence on your mall property. I've even linked to a video here that will show you how effective your gun free zone can be if done properly.

I am not alone in my thoughts, and I assure you that I am not the only one who has chosen to NOT shop at your mall.
Criminals don't care about gun free zones, they don't care about signs, rules, laws, etc... Your gun free zone is creating a haven for criminals to hunt out the easy targets, which would be all your shoppers. The criminals can rest easy with the knowledge that they will not encounter anyone who is able to defend themselves due to your gun free zone.
Please advise me if you ever change your policy to be in accordance with what the law allows us non-criminals to do at your competitors...carry guns for OUR protection against the criminals that you've welcomed with open arms, and sidearms.
There is a lot of speculation on what happened. Some think it might have been a "flash mob" incident, some think the fights at both ends of the mall might have been coordinated, some think it was random. The gun shot outside is reported to be an armed robbery attempt, didn't say if the shot was fired by the robber(s) or the victim.
Mayfair management released a press release stating that they are making procedural changes and that the mall is still a safe place to shop.
On a side note, this is the second or third mobbing incident recently where the police released little or no information to the press or the public until a day or week later.
I suppose we're just supposed to pretend things are safe and rosey. As long as we're not a direct victim I guess we're to act like it's none of our business. We had four grandkids at Mayfair Mall when this happened. Mayfair could become the next Northridge and Capitol Court.
We shouldn't concern ourselves with the complicated matters of the government. Shut up, get in line and pay your taxes.
Not possible. Guns are banned in the mall.
Mayfair could become the next Northridge and Capitol Court.
