« Baskerville Campaign Event Tonight | Main | MSU Beefs Up Security In Response To Shooting Threat »
From the Star Ledger...
A gunman today forced his way into the Meadowlands Xanadu Mall construction site, police said.The man approached a security guard at 8:30 a.m., asked to enter the site, then drew a gun, said State Police Sgt. Stephen Jones.
The guard allowed the man to enter, and he remained at large at 9:30 a.m., Jones said.
UPDATE: Search is called off; no gunman found.
You didn't hear? Blue, yellow and red siding are making a killing on the black market.
Perhaps this is the same gunman who earlier this week sent an anonymous threat to Montclair State University. Perhaps he showed up this morning at MSU and was scared away by the SWAT team waiting for him. My theory: if he was stupid enough to actually send a letter prior to his MSU visit, maybe he's stupid enough to try his hand at indoor skiing in April.
I've heard lots of stories about getting the first powder - and boy - lots of things are worth that virgin snow, but a gun and there? Dumas.
They should have just let him go.
What is the freakin' point of having a guard if he's going to be a pansy? The perp draws a gun, so take yours out and shoot him. It really can't be much more simple. Unless it was of course one of those 78 year old guards we see at the mall, who's uniform hangs off their bones like a dry cleaning hanger.
I can understand using a gun to force your way out of there, but to get in?
