Shooting spree in Omaha mall

A gunman in a Nebraska shopping mall has killed nine people and left three in serious condition, authorities said.

The shootings began just before 2 p.m. at the Von Maur store inside the shopping complex. The gunman used a rifle to fire at least 50 shots, as shoppers fled to dressing rooms and bathrooms and hid in clothes racks. He then fired the gun on himself.

Update 2: (CNN.com) The shooter has been identified as Robert A. Hawkins, about 19 or 20 years old. A suicide note left behind said he did not want to burden people, that he was a piece of shit and now he'd be famous, according to his land lady. She saidhe showed her the rifle he used the night before the shooting, and described Hawkins as a lost puppy nobody wanted. --And this caused no sort of alarm??

I know I don't need to say this, but seriously...what the hell is wrong with people. Seriously. Malls are about shopping sprees, not killing sprees, and adding insult to injury, I'm sure these people were holiday shopping for families that will never see them again. Makes me sick.
