A shooting at an Alabama shopping mall has left an 8-year-old boy dead and three other people hospitalized.

A button that experts believe was from Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee was found inside a time capsule beneath the base of a Confederate monument.“This was just a very senseless tragedy, and of course they are devastated by this,” Brocato said. He asked residents in the city to pray for the family.

The mall was evacuated after the shooting. Hoover police asked anyone who witnessed the shooting to call authorities. Annalisa Pope, who works at the Hollister clothing store in the mall, told WBMA-TV in a telephone interview that she heard six to seven shots fired. “It wasn’t just one or two,” she said. The gunshots “sounded like they were coming from every direction.”“It felt so close,” Pope added. “It was so surreal. It doesn’t even feel real right now. You wouldn’t expect something like that to happen out of nowhere on a normal, Friday afternoon.”

The mall in suburban Birmingham was the site of a 2018 police shooting, when an officer fatally shot a Black man after mistaking him for the gunman in an earlier shooting at the mall. That shooting of 21-year-old Emantic “EJ” Bradford Jr. prompted a series of protests at the mall. The Alabama attorney general’s office cleared the officer, saying he had acted “reasonably under the circumstances” in the encounter, which spanned approximately five seconds.

Let’s see if this 8 year old’s life matters to BLM. Tragically it probably won’t.

What’s wrong with people anymore.

I hope people start protesting

I bet BLM

Wow. Tragic

We had a shooting up here just south of Boston at a suburban shopping mall today as well!

I thought it had been a while and people had more perspective given the pandemic. I guess I was wrong.
