Some of you may know and some of you may not know but this past week an 18 year old Bosnian immigrant living in Salt Lake randomly entered a mall in downtown Salt Lake City with a shotgun, a handgun, and a backpack of ammunition and began firing at anything moving. Well, just recently a tape was given to our local news which is actual footage of a man filming what happened inside the mall at the time. Six people (gunman included) died and four were hospitalized
The clip is (right now) on the news website but the downfall is that the news website is constantly changing video so by the time you see this the video may be deep within the archives.
During the occurance an off duty officer was having dinner with his wife for valentines day and luckily he was carrying his gun or else more would have likely died. In the video you will hear gunshots and see Salt Lake Police meet up with the off duty officer (they then split up) and then you'll hear a massive amount of gunfire (this is when the gunman was killed).
Anyway, here is the site, and it should be in the video bin on the right side somewhere.

Along with the story. When the 18 year old pulled into the mall parking lot he shot at two people from behind, a 16 year old and his father. His father was killed and the 16 year old had a bb get lodged in his ankle and his temple. The 16 year old was able to talk but doesn't know his father has been killed. He was taken to the hospital and sedated where he had brain surgery which dropped him from critical to serious condition. But here is the thing. The 16 year old is in fact a junior at my high school who sat next to me in my ceramics class. He and I only exchanged a few words throughout the semester but it is still weird and un-real to think about it.
