Finally some news. We were there and escaped, it was scary and confusing. I didn't hear anything but we hid in a store.

Glad you made it out okay! Hope there aren't any victims.

Seems like it may have been gang related. It was a bit of mass confusion, no one knew what was going on. People were still showing up to the mall like nothing happened.

Apologies if this is too presumptive of me but please be sure you get some professional help processing this. I’ve never quite got over being shot at and I hate seeing anybody thinking they are fine like I thought then one day a year later just hitting a brick wall of walking catatonia. I was a complete space case, dissociating constantly and probably avoidable if I got somebody to help pick through it with me. Be well, friend.

Thank you for the concern. In the moment I wasn't too scared, just alarmed. Once I read the news in a restaurant confirming it was indeed a shooting, it started to sink in. Its a mix of emotions that's hard to process right now. I hope you were able to find some peace with the scary incident you went through.

Yeah at the time I was high anxiety but not too bad. Looked over my shoulder a bit more but nothing too bad then one day I just couldn’t stop thinking about it or about bad things happening. But yeah, I think I finally have reached some peace about it after a good bit of work. Wishing you the best as well.

What store did you hide in

We were in lens crafters. They had us go to the back to hide.
