Gunman Takes Own Life After Firing on New Jersey Mall 
------------------------------------------------------


 
A gunman opened fire in a crowded New Jersey mall on Tuesday before
taking his own life. No one else was hurt, but many were trapped for
several hours as police conducted a search. Paramus police Chief Kenneth
Ehrenberg briefed reporters after the gunman's body was found.

Kenneth Ehrenberg: "One of the SWAT teams here as we progressed through
the night was able to locate the victim in a back room with a
self-inflicted gunshot wound. At this point we are still doing a
secondary search on the stores. Many stores have lockdown procedures.
They have locked themselves in the store and we need to go
store-by-store to get these people out of the, to get them out and let
them know that everything is safe here."
