Man reportedly shot at Omaha mall
December 05, 2007 15:39 EST

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) -- A shopping mall in Omaha, Nebraska, is under lockdown by police after at least one person was shot today.

Authorities say it isn't known whether the shooter -- or shooters -- is still inside the mall or how many people were shot or injured at Westroads Mall in west Omaha. Two people were seen being removed on stretchers.

Police are letting some people leave the mall, but no one is being allowed to enter.
 
I saw this, too.. Not much info out yet... :(
 
2 dead (one man and one woman) . There is also one in critical condition
 
This is horrible! I'm glad more weren't hurt or killed considering how busy the malls are at this time of year.
 
I saw this and had to call my mother right away. She lives in Omaha and when I talked to her this morning, she told me she was going to the Westroads to do some Christmas shopping today. She had left the mall just about 30 minutes before the shootings.

I am so glad (and glad you were able to reach her and put your mind at ease).

:( Sounds like it got worse. With that many it doesn't sound like this was about a domestic situation...

OMG!!! I guess we now need metal detectors at the mall too? Prayers for all of those involved.
 
Neighbor said he was troubled boy, got fired today from job (at mall I think) and this set him off. Also facing charge of contributing to delinquency of a minor (peddling?), prior case.
