No I don't think it was that militia, after doing some research beyond that article, most people up around the area see them as largely too stupid to pull off that kind of heist...

Thanks. I suspected that from reading the article.

Well regulated militias are scary. Militias like those guys are terrifying.

I just heard that he turned himself in. I'll look for a link.

Edited to add:

No link for that yet. I'm trying to figure out where he came from. He apparently grew up in New York, lived in Philadelphia, but also Wisconsin. Maybe he came from there, as he spent two days in this area on his way to New York.

I guess over the next day or two, things will become clearer.

Police: Multiple people injured in shooting at South Carolina's Columbiana Centre mall

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nat ... 344674001/
Multiple people were injured after a shooting at a South Carolina shopping mall, police said Saturday.

Police in Columbia, South Carolina's capital city, responded to reports of shots fired at the Columbiana Centre mall, about 10 miles from downtown Columbia.

Police said people were receiving medical attention after being injured, but did not specify how many people were injured in the incident.

In a tweet, police asked employees to continue sheltering in place inside the mall until officers could escort them out: "DO NOT leave a store until told to do so by proper authorities."

A reunification site has been set up at a nearby hotel, according to the Lexington County Sheriff’s Department.
:( Last minute Easter/Passover/Ramadan shoppers not having a good day. Too many guns. :mad:

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Shots fired at a house party in Pittsburgh early Sunday left two minors dead and at least nine more people injured, police said.

The shooting happened around 12:30 a.m. during a party at a short-term rental property where there were more than 200 people inside — many of them underage, Pittsburgh police said in a news release. At least 11 people were being treated for gunshot wounds and two male victims died at the hospital, police said.

Others were injured attempting to flee, with at least two people suffering broken bones by jumping out of the building’s windows, authorities said. Arriving officers reported hearing shots in the area and seeing several young people fleeing the area on foot and in vehicles, police said.

Police said as many as 50 rounds were fired inside and several more were fired outside. Shell casings from rifles and pistols were found at the scene, Pittsburgh police commander John Fisher told WTAE-TV. Police are processing evidence at as many as eight separate crime scenes spanning a few blocks around the shooting scene, police said.
This is on the North Side, which is a pretty safe area in the city. Shootings have become a practically everyday occurrence around here.

The shooting marked the third time in nine days that gunfire erupted during parties being held at Airbnb rentals, including one near Sacramento, California, which left a teen dead, and another that rocked a suburban Houston residential neighborhood.

Airbnb said a statement to ABC News that the person who booked the Pittsburgh house has been issued a lifetime ban from Airbnb. The company confirmed that an "unauthorized party" was thrown without the knowledge or consent of the house host, who specifically stated in the listing page that no parties were allowed and that any evidence of a party would result in a $500 fee.

Airbnb said on Monday it is taking legal action against the person who booked the Pittsburgh rental.

"Airbnb strictly bans parties, and we condemn the behavior that is alleged to have prompted this criminal gun violence and the tragic loss of life. Yesterday we confirmed the booking guest has been issued a lifetime ban from Airbnb, and today we can confirm that we plan to pursue affirmative legal action against this individual," Airbnb said in a new statement on Monday, adding that the company is cooperating with the Pittsburgh Police Department's investigation.

Following the shooting, Verdetto said his grandson pointed out numerous vehicles in the neighborhood with shattered windows, and walls of nearby homes and businesses pockmarked with bullet holes.

They still have not found the shooters in Pittsburgh Sunday morning. I'm not even sure they know who they were.

Nothing's going to happen until they start banning the homeowners from listing their property, and that's not going to happen.

No link yet, but CNN reporting on air right now that police chief says an AR-15 style rifle was used in the shooting.

Also, one family spoke to media and said that their son had seen it advertised on social media as a Spring break party with a $5 admission fee.
