Breaking: shots fired at Virginia-based Apple Store
An unidentified man fired at least one shot at the Apple Store Clarendon in Arlington, Virginia shortly after the store opened Friday morning, wounding at least one, a person with knowledge of the situation tells AppleInsider.
"Someone was just shot at the store and just were carted out in an ambulance," that person said. "Unsure what happened but the store is closed down and there are police everywhere."
Witnesses report hearing a loud bang coming from the back room followed by a woman screaming. A thin-framed, black male believed to be in his twenties and wearing a fake beard was seen fleeing from the rear of the store.
Local authorities have called in air support to help search for the suspect, who was reportedly clad in beige. The victim, whose gender and identity have yet to be identified, is believed to have been shot in the shoulder.
Update: Local branches of both ABC and FOX news are now confirming the incident, and the Washington Post claims the victim of the apparent botched armed robbery is a female.

I hope no one was insured.
I agree, the insurance companies would have to pay out so much money, poor things. Never mind that someone might die.
The assailant or the victim?

My bet's that the lunatic was a windows botherer corrupted by jealousy.

Clever.
Another argument for gun control. Carrying your gun, being alert, and being in control to shoot back!!
Who's to say that the shooting wasn't caused by a vigilant gun owner (read: meth addict up for 4 days) who THOUGHT somebody else had a gun and was trying to stop THEM? Wow, your argument kinda fell apart there.
Lets put bet's on as to if the gun man was a PC user or not..

"Clad in beige". That's a PC user if there ever was one.

People with CCW permits go through extensive background checks including being finger printed. I would assume that even a "clean" meth addict wouldn't even try to go through such a process to be officially "in the system." I highly doubt the gun man had a legal gun.

Had not noticed that bit. Oh thats sealed it then! lol
