Man terrifies shoppers at Calif. mall by firing gun in parking lot

Shots rang out Saturday outside the Fashion Island mall in Newport Beach, Calif., sending shoppers into "near pandemonium." Marcos Gurrola, 42, was arrested on suspicion of firing 50 rounds into the air in the parking lot outside Macy's on one of the year’s busiest shopping weekends. According to witnesses, at no time did the shooter point a weapon at anyone, but the massacre in Newtown and a fatal shooting inside an Oregon mall has escalated the response to this event, with much of the mall immediately going into lockdown. Fortunately, the only injury reported was to a shopper who sustained a minor injury while rushing to escape from the area. [Source]
