mall and went to wait near
Chipotle, where the Lius
later met them.
E xhausted from je t
lag and their ordeal, they
climbed in the car and tried
to leave the mall, only to
be blocked by a police
barrier.
No one who was around
the mall that day was al
lowed to leave, most stand
ing in the chilly December
air waiting for the end of the
nightmare.
“There were people
standing out there without
any coats or anything,” said
Linda.
The Lius said they were
held by the police until they
had been questioned. When
the police were certain they
had the only shooter, they
let everyone go.
The four returned to
their hotel, hoping for sleep
after the terror of the day,
grateful the experience
hadn’t been much, much
worse.
“I’m glad there were
people here praying,” said
Alvin.
