Avenues Shooting

I don’t know if there is any truth to the matter, but I have been hearing that a shooting took place last night at the Avenues at around 10:30 pm. A bearded man with a AK-47 walked into the mall from the cinema side and started shooting, there were reports of multiple police cars and ambulances at the sight but nothing in the news papers. Today the IKEA side is closed off, any one know any other information since nothing was reported in the news.

Update: Was a hoax! Turned out it was a fake call!

    ummm that’s interesting I was there at that time and I was sitting in one of the restaurants outside the cinema and heard nothing.. I was there until 11.30 and everything seemed normal… I dont know if it happened but its probably just a rumor.

    This can’t be true. If it was, it would be all over the news and today’s newspapers. Also, most of the other local blogs would have written something about it. So I don’t beleive it. Just a rumor.

    I went to IKEA today, nothing out of the usual there, nothing is closed. BUT I spotted two policemen sitting in front of the exit door between paul and the footlocker, i thought that it was unusual but maybe its because of the weekend fuss?

    Rumor!

    And how come no pictures of the Bikes there from yesterday? :(

    That’s what I was hoping to see here.
