Almost
Almost
Well, this has me scratching my head. On an apparently slow news day in Bloomington Illinois the headline read:
Ex-Twin City woman almost went to store in Omaha shooting
You know thats got to be a must-read. Anyway, the story begins...
OMAHA, Neb. -- If Wednesday had been typical, former Twin City resident Sally Elliott probably would have been shopping at the Von Maur where a gunman killed nine people, including himself, and wounded five others.
Von Maur in Westroads Mall at Omaha, Neb., is her favorite store, and she can be found there most Wednesdays for markdown day.
Knowing she came so close to being there when the shooting happened made her angry and uncomfortable, she said. And at least for now, it has made her hesitant to go back.
“Von Maur is honestly the only store I ever go to — it always has everything I want,” she said, adding “I don’t know if I’ll go next week.”
One wonder why she wont go next week. Does she think its likely that a gunman will be there again? And as if its not enough that they subject their readers to pointless articles like this, the woman isnt even a resident of the area. It boggles the mind.
