FOX News just reported that 2 gunmen with machine guns opened fire at the Hudson Valley Mall, about 100 miles north of New York City a little while ago. Unknown number wounded. Surgeons have arrived at the mall to treat the injured.

That is awful. It isn't safe anywhere. :(

I just turned on Fox News. They said it is a black male wearing a yellow jacket or shirt.

I couldn't go out to the mall because there is a lockdown going on right here in Kingston. That was bad when I heard the news that 5 people were wounded where two gunman fired these people.:( Kingston is on a lockdown right now.

Did they describe what the other gunman looked like?

I'm hearing now that it was a lone gunman, who's in custody being "interviewed".

This is a small town well north of you, not the suburb of New York City.

Aw, that's horrible :(

I think he said he lived in Kingston, are there two Kingstons?

That's horrible. I hope the victims recover. :(

Gunman Opens Fire at Upstate New York Mall

KINGSTON, N.Y. — A lone gunman opened fire with an assault rifle Sunday inside a crowded mall in upstate New York, wounding one person before running out of ammunition and being subdued by employees, authorities said.

The gunman began shooting inside the Hudson Valley Mall shortly after 3 p.m. in Kingston, nearly 90 miles north of New York City.

The 24-year-old gunman went intoa Best Buy store and started firing. When he ran out of ammunition, he was captured by mall employees, police said.

Police did not identify the suspect or the type of gun he used. State police Capt. Wayne Olson said investigators did not know the exact number of shots fired.

An Army recruiter was shot in the leg but was not the target of the attack, said Lt. Col. Paul Fanning, a National Guard spokesman. The recruiter was evacuated by helicopter to an Albany hospital, where he was listed in critical condition.

Another person was injured in the hand, but police said the injury was not a gunshot wound.

The mall was evacuated after the shooting, but an unknown number of workers remained inside after police surrounded the building.

Janice:I'm hearing now that it was a lone gunman, who's in custody being "interviewed".


Why do you qoute the word "interviewed"?
Because, although the news reports used the word interview, my guess is that they are interrogating him relentlessly, as they should be.

Thanks Janice for this article. I live in Kingston, NY on Heather Lane located close by Route 32. Not too far from the incident at the Hudson Valley Mall last night.:D

So now its not even safe to go to a damn shopping mall.That shooting news is scary and awful :(
