As of tonight, five are dead, and the killer is still on the loose.

My prayers go toward the families affected by this.

Yeah my friend worked at the Kohls.

He said they had cops running with M16's and telling everyone not to move.

WBBM was reporting that he tied up the women, then opened fire.
Last we were told, he was heading south, I wouldn't be suprised if he made it to Indiana by now.

I talked to my friend last night who is security at Target, she said they had her there until about 2am last night doing emergency training in case something like this happens again.

one of the women killed was a counselor at my high school.

I hope they find this guy.

I guess he committed suicide. Here's my philosophy: If you're gonna kill yourself, don't kill a bunch of other people before you do it.
