Maryland mall shooting

Darion Aguilar showed up at The Mall in Columbia, Maryland in a taxi Saturday morning and stayed in a "generally confined area" before going to Zumiez, a shop that caters to skaters, on the second floor. There he fired six to nine shots, killing 21-year-old Brianna Benlolo and 25-year-old Tyler Johnson before shooting himself. Aguilar also had a backpack that contained two homemade bombs, police said. Both were disabled. The first 911 call about the shooting came at about 11:15 a.m. Saturday, and officers were in the mall within two minutes. Police are trying to find out more about Aguilar. Apparently, he was a quiet, tall, skinny 19 year old skateboard enthusiast who graduated last year from Blake High School in Silver Spring. He had no criminal record and purchased the shotgun legally. A journal discovered at his home may help explain why he did this. The police served a search-and-seizure warrant at the shooter's house and retrieved documents, computers and other potential evidence, including the journal.
