Mall of America shooting Update.

MSN: Charging extension granted in MOA fatal shooting: "Evidence continues to be reviewed".

Johntae Hudson, 19, succumbed to his injuries after being shot inside the Nordstrom department store on Friday.

Bloomington Police Chief Booker Hodges says it appears there was a physical altercation prior to the shooting. ["It appears." ??? - WTF? - DD] Videos posted on social media show shoppers hiding in stores. Some videos show shoppers running for cover after a loud bang is heard. One bystander's coat was grazed by a bullet.

The day after the shooting, police announced five people were arrested in St. Louis Park in connection to the shooting. The individuals arrested include three 17-year-old boys and two 18-year-old men. They are being held on pending charges of second-degree murder, police said.

"We know the how, we know the where, we know the what and we know the who. We don't know the why," Hodges said. [Does "why" need to be specifically articulated when someone is shot to death? - DD]

Gov. Tim Walz said after the shooting that the violence at the mall on Friday night was "absolutely unacceptable." He said he was in touch with local officials to provide support and resources.

This is the second lockdown Mall of America has gone on this year--shots fired outside the Nike store prompted a lockdown in August. On New Year's Eve of 2021, the mall went into lockdown after two people were shot on the third level of the mall.

Walz: "absolutely unacceptable." Mmm-huh. Way to go out on a limb there, Fat Man. This, from the guy who was...allegedly...too inebriated to make rational decisions and deploy the National Guard during the 2020 Floyd riots, mayhem, looting and the destruction/arson/burning of nearly 400 properties in Minneapolis. 

More - KSTP: Police: Charging deadline extended for cases stemming from fatal Mall of America shooting.

According to police, a charging extension has been granted, meaning charges from the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office will be due at 12 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 28.

The charges must also be filed against all five suspects by that time.

As previously reported, five people – including three 17-year-olds – have been arrested. They have yet to be identified by police due to their age status as minors. Two others, 18-year-olds Taeshawn Wright and Deandre Depratto, are also suspected of playing a role in Friday’s shooting.

Police believe either Wright or Depratto pulled the trigger and killed 19-year-old Raymon Hudson of St. Paul at some point during a fight involving nine people in the mall’s Nordstrom store Friday evening.

No idea why one story refers to the decedent's first name as Johntae and the other story as Raymon. There aren't many reliable news sources in the Twin Cities.

Walz is a disaster. In everything. He is a successful boozehound. At least that's the chatter from inside the Governor's Mansion. Crack open another case of PBR you obese grifter.

Is attorney Ben Crump in town? Hmmmmm...probably not since it doesn't seem the shooter(s) is/are white.
