Mall Shooting

I checked to read The Drudge Report today, and there was a big picture of a young teen boy with glasses and "Why?" printed boldly underneath, so I had to see what was up. Remember when we talked about the mail-man shootings, this story is similar is some ways.

Robert A. Hawkins, 19, went into an Omaha Von Maur store on Wednesday afternoon, shooting it up with an AK-47 rifle he had stolen from his stepfather. He had several victims, including himself. Hawkins is dead along with two others, while the rest of the victims are still in the hospital or have been released.

Apparently, Hawkins had dropped out of school, and have been fired from McDonald's recently, and was in a bad mental state. He had written a few suicide notes, and committed this crime beause in was in a large pulic place, and he would be famous.
