The ONLY ONLY ONLY way for this to have been Prevented was if SHE Killed the Gunman FIRST! And the ONLY ONLY ONLY way for HIM to prevent his own death was if he killed HER FIRST! So as a Pro Life Save The Children Republican I see NO ISSUES WHATSOEVER with this!

I used to go to this mall frequently. It is absolutely not the kind of mall where this regularly happens. Lynnwood is just suburbia. This ain’t Everett mall.
Even Everett mall is nice, I'm really surprised to be reading about this.
What a shameful waste of a beautiful life for that young girl.
“‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says the Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens.”

How sad that this was neither shocking nor surprising and got absolutely no emotional response from me when I read the headline.
This isn't even the first incident this week. There is a rash of teen gun violence lately in the Seattle area. https://myeverettnews.com/2024/06/27/three-suspects-arrested-in-everett-after-teen-murder-in-seattle/
Same outlet has a better, less typo ridden article on the lynnwood murder too:

Alderwood Mall? That's the nicer one! If it were the Everett Mall, I'd be unsurprised, but Alderwood? That's wild.
I thought it was going to be Tacoma for sure.
You mix teenagers and guns and it doesn't really matter how nice the mall is.
As the parent of a teenager, I know exactly how moody they can get and how quickly their moods can change from happy to "I will fucking kill a motherfucker." I wouldn't give a teenager a gun in a million years.
The minimum age of enlistment should give you nightmares.
The idea of mandatory enlistment gives me nightmares. But also the fact that you can be old enough to kill but not old enough to be trusted with alcohol or tobacco. That is just ludicrous on the face of it. This nation is a madhouse.
But only a good teenager with a gun can stop a bad teenager with a gun.
The KFC needs a machinegun nest, and Dunkin should keep some landmines in those donut trays.
But would you give 1 million teenagers to one gun for a year?
Ask Putin
Why do they have a statement from the investment firms's pr department? What does that add to the story? Wgaf what their thoughts are on the matter? It's really strange.
