I imagine the same things happened in 10 if not 20 other big cities today around the globe... Bogota doesn't have a lock on craziness.
Rest in peace, LilaM.

Where do we go from here?

Is your country worthy of a Free Trade Agreement with the USA?

Since this website is broadcast globally (as the Mods boast! #114,000! Woo-Hoo! Lets have a party, we are above the century mark!), does the poster know that some members of USA congress might see his post? Am I a member of a Senators staff?

You never know who is on this board!

Hello McFly! Anyone home?"

I hate to disagree with you, but is your media that butchers us, more crazy things go on in the US every day, just count the shootings. And oh course our beloved County is worthy of a Free Trade Agreement with the USA and a lot of other things, you blame us for the drug problem, but yet if you would not smoke it, we would not grow it.

I love America, I was educated there, but I love Colombia more, so have some respect when you post about my Country.

CHICAGO, Illinois (CNN) -- A gunman who shot and killed five women in a clothing store at a suburban Chicago strip mall Saturday remains at large, police said.

Police investigate the scene of a shooting at the Brookside shopping center in Tinley Park, Illinois.

Authorities do not know the motive for the shooting at the Lane Bryant store, said Tinley Park police Sgt. T.J. Grady. The victims' identities were not released.

Grady told reporters that a 911 call reporting the shooting came in at 10:44 a.m.

Stores in the strip mall were thoroughly searched, he said, and "it appears the offender has left the area." Video Watch police describe the crime scene »

Shoppers in nearby stores described a tense situation after the shooting.

"Six police entered the store with their hands on their gun holsters," said Tracy Caccavella, who was in a pet supply store across from the Lane Bryant store, according to The Associated Press.

The gunman was described as an African-American man, about 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighing between 230 and 260 pounds, Grady said. He was wearing a waist-length black winter coat, a black cap and dark jeans.

Authorities believe there was only one shooter, Grady said.

Police appealed to the public for help, urging anyone with information to contact police at 708-444-5368.

The Chicago Tribune reported the shopping center is just south of Interstate 80 and contains a Super Target, a Kohl's clothing store and several restaurants.

Crazy shit happens everywhere. A few days ago in my little pueblo(10,000 people) we had a fire that wiped out 5 businesses. I thought that would be the headline in the paper the next day. I wasn`t. Some wacko gouged out someones eyes ,disembowled, and then castrated him. That was the main headline
