What was he doing at the mall at 12:30 a.m.? Seems late even for an employee.

I'd like to think this is an Orlando problem, but I really think its an american problem. I live in a fairly small town and the shootings are way up, probably worst since the early 80's. The closest two major towns to me are Milwaukee and Chicago -- they're both in bad shape.

Most stores open to 11PM

Could be many reasons why an employeee would just be leaving at 12:30am.

I wouldn't!! Of course I live there

Still, I dont see why this has to be in the Disney news and rumors section...if we posted every story near Disney where something happens, we'd have a ton of posts

Well thats strange ??? Each time I visit Disney (several times a year) I go to this outlet and the Church next to it. Don't you also think others with cars do ?
I want to know about things like this and not make them disappear into Fantasy land as though they never happened. Disney is great for doing this.
Repeat after me : Its only a dream ........

^^see my post above.

If you think we should add a thread for every crime that happens near Disney, we 'd have to start a new forum

Yup, we have one of the worst crime/murder rates in the country now. I'm glad I live on the other side of Disney LOL

I guess I just expect that violent things can and do happen pretty much anywhere human beings exist. IMO, it's fantasy to believe that any place is safe from potential violence.

It's sad that it happened, hopefully they catch the people responsible.
