5 shot dead at suburban Chicago Lane Bryant

5 shot dead at suburban Chicago store - Yahoo! News

TINLEY PARK, Ill. - A gunman fatally shot five people at a store in a suburban Chicago strip mall and fled Saturday, prompting police to sweep through neighboring shops looking for the suspect as terrified customers looked on. The victims — all females — were shot and killed at a Lane Bryant store at the Brookside Marketplace.

This is just horrific news. My heart goes out to the victims, their families, and to everyone at Charming Shoppes.

I worked at two suburban Chicago Lane Bryant stores in recent years and I obviously shop with them a lot, so this hits pretty close to home. I can't even imagine how terrified those women were or what would prompt something so violent. Something like this could happen anywhere at any time, and that's the truly scary part. What the hell is with people these days?? Very sad.

Thanks to SteveD for the link, and for thinking of me!

So sad, I hope they find the person responsible. My heart goes out to the families of those affected. Rest in peace to those whose lives were taken in this awful situation. :(

This is so incredibly sad. I'm sure it really does hit home with you especially. I'm glad you were not involved, but my heart breaks for the families of the individuals who were involved.

Tragic.

Glad to hear your are OK. Now hopefully the Sick AH will be caught. Violence is never the answer. This one is needless too. It should not be dangerous to sell clothes. Rude Customers ok. But this?

Ok add this to the list of things I cannot understand. Child Rape, Murder, so on.
