Shooting at East Towne Mall?

Let's see if the media or the Knoxville Police Department (which has a precinct in the mall) will step up and let us know if this is gang related or if it is a domestic relations matter. In any event, it cannot be simply viewed as an isolated incident.

The first murder at a church, the first murder within a school, the first murder within a closed mall . . . . . . . . . Not Memphis, not Nashville, it's right here in Knoxville baby!

What are we doing wrong?
