OMAHA, Neb. (AP) A man with an AR-15-style rifle opened fire inside a Target store in Omaha, sending panicked shoppers and employees scrambling for safety before he was fatally shot by police Tuesday afternoon, authorities said.
Police Chief Todd Schmaderer said the man had plenty of ammunition and that evidence suggests he fired multiple rounds, but it wasnt immediately known if he fired at anyone.
Schmaderer said no wounded people were found, and police had searched through the store because there were some people hiding in there.
Cathy Mahannah, a customer, said the scene inside the store was sheer panic.

(510 posts)Instead of making only assault weapons easy to buy in the US, let's allow Walmart (or any other merchant) to sell hand grenades to the public.
YouTube will demonstrate manipulating the safety pin, pulling the arming pin, and then tossing the activated explosive into a crowd of people.
What's taking so long?
