Have you fired a gun? Fadi, who was not at his job at T-Mobile at the time of the incident, added, “That’s crazy.”
Fadi, however, claimed he occasionally saw individuals battling for parking spaces and characterized the lot as quite crowded.
He occasionally witnesses boisterous kids playing, but this was the first time he had heard of gunfire or any other serious crime at the mall.
Ann, who works at Richmond Wines and Liquors but wasn’t there when the gunfire started, thinks the mall is safe in general.
We haven’t really experienced any major problems here in my five years here, Ann stated.
You feel a little safer because a security person typically patrols the lot, she said.
