Mall Shooting In Nebraska

On my way home from work, I noticed that an undercover police car was racing towards the mall. I made it home and was on the Internet, checking on the weather when I noticed the news flash on the top of my screen.

I didn't think too much of it at the time. I turned on the TV and it said that shots rang out at Van Maur and that police scanners had reported that "five people were down."

Nothing really was known at the time. I was getting ready to go back to work and was checking up on the traffic report. I hated to go back to the area, in fear that I would be in the way. They said that authorities had blocked off traffic into the mall, but that 102 (a street that goes around the mall) was fine.

I decided to drive around the mall, since that is my quickest way to work. At the stop light, cars were backed up 4 to 5 blocks solid. I looked at everyone in their cars, and everyone was on their cell phones.

As I got closer to the mall I started seeing the emergency vehicles, then the helicoptor. I couldn't believe it. I managed to get around and get close to the bus stop, where I noticed police had baracaded the mall.

At that time they didn't know where the shooter was. They were letting people out of the mall parking lot, but not before stopping vehicles to check them. I kept driving and noticed the FBI was also all over the place. An FBI agent got out of his van and stood in the intersection in his bulletproof vest.

I finally arrived back at work, but no work was getting done.
