This happened today at a Best Buy near me, and what the heck, it is sort of audio related. I wonder if he was a disgruntled employee or customer.

KINGSTON, N.Y. A lone gunman opened fire with an assault rifle Sunday inside a crowded mall in upstate New York, wounding one person before running out of ammunition and being subdued by employees, authorities said.
The gunman began shooting inside the Hudson Valley Mall (search) shortly after 3 p.m. in Kingston, nearly 90 miles north of New York City.
The 24-year-old gunman went into a Best Buy (search) store and started firing. When he ran out of ammunition, he was captured by mall employees, police said.
Police did not identify the suspect or the type of gun he used. State police Capt. Wayne Olson said investigators did not know the exact number of shots fired.
An Army recruiter was shot in the leg but was not the target of the attack, said Lt. Col. Paul Fanning, a National Guard (search) spokesman. The recruiter was evacuated by helicopter to an Albany hospital, where he was listed in critical condition.
Another person was injured in the hand, but police said the injury was not a gunshot wound.
The mall was evacuated after the shooting, but an unknown number of workers remained inside after police surrounded the building.

Sound of gun being cocked
****!!!!!!!!
Seriously though, no real justification for shooting up the joint, or people for that matter. Hope the freak gets nailed. -
Scary,
I remember a few years back, something like that happened in a Future Shop in Montreal. The store manager tried to stop some guy from stealing and he pulled a gun and shot him in the chest. Fortunately there was a heart surgeon in the store who saved the guys life.
Not sure what they did to reward him, probably gave him 10% off his warranty:D Oh wait, you can't actually change the price of the warranty, "I'll just adjust the price of your product accordingly", and preserve my much higher warranty commision thank-you-very-much.
But seriously, prosecute, prosecute, prosecute."Sure, everything looks bad if you remember it!"
