Columbiana Centre Shopping Center shooting in another gun-free zone, appears to be gang-related :: 04/16/2022
The shooting at the Columbiana Centre Shopping Center in Columbia, South Carolina has left 10 people shot. So far three people have been arrested. The shopping center’s code of conduct makes it very clear that they completely prohibit firearms from the grounds of the mall. This very clearly appears to be gang-related. The problem is that when you ban guns from an area the most law-abiding people obey the rule, not the criminals, so the law-abiding people are defenseless.
“We believe the individuals that were armed knew each other, and there was some type of conflict that occurred which resulted in gunfire,” Holbrook said in a Saturday afternoon news conference. “This was not a situation where we had some random person show up at a mall to discharge a firearm and injure people.”
