A masked gunman, wearing camo, shot multiple people inside an Oregon mall yesterday evening. He killed two others, then himself. He was apparently choosing his targets randomly, and no motive is yet known.
President Obama and Republican leaders continue to meet to discuss the looming 'fiscal cliff,' but no visible progress has been made, with less than 3 weeks until the end-of-year deadline.
