I'm REALLY glad that I went back to my room to sleep.
The next day I talked to a colleague that said "Did you hear about misses in the mall yesterday?" About the same time I debating going into the mall, a lady having a mental health crisis shot herself.

I just did a Google search to find the story. It didn't come up because a more recent shooting filled the search page.
How does that seem normal? To search for a shooting in a mall, and the one you're looking for doesn't come up because it's not the only one? |
To be fair, that's not really a major example of American gun culture. A guy in the cross iron mall parking lot stood outside his van waving a gun around with people around and then killed himself, as well. Ugly suicides happen all the time everywhere.
You just don't hear about them on the news for a reason.
