Oh ffs.

That's what I'd call a 'bad place' to do something like this. McAllen has something like 500 BP agents within a 30 minute drive of that place. They can stack 10 deep and just walk through the place.

Smashing glass was confused with gunshots???

A mall in Texas is not the wisest choice for an active shooter, not being a gun free zone, the shooting activity likely would not last long.

Are these shootings on the rise or is my imagination?

It's going to get worse the closer we get to the next election. The left is UNHINGED.

It's a Simon mall, so probably.

Or, is it that media coverage is at MAXIMUM when a gun is involved?

This, a domestic/workplace shooting with only a couple victims or less gets massaged into being called a "mass shooting" at first reporting.
