A gunman at Fashion Island in Newport Beach apparently fired more than 50 rounds in a parking lot at the busy shopping mall before he was apprehended by police, authorities said Saturday.

The 42-year-old male was arrested in the parking lot near the Macy’s department store shortly after firing the shots about 4:30 p.m., said Kathy Lowe, a spokeswoman for the Newport Beach Police Department. Officers on bike patrol apprehended the man.

Police searched the mall but did not find anyone who had been struck by the gunfire. The shots were apparently fired either in the air or at the ground.

More than 50 rounds were recovered at the scene, said Deputy Chief David McGill. A handgun was recovered at the scene, but police did not reveal any more details about the weapon.

The mall was crowded with holiday shoppers at the time of the shooting.

Shopper Dena Nassef said she and another person were walking toward Macy’s when people started yelling and running.

“With what happened in Connecticut, we were freaking out,” she said. “It was like crazy, people leaving stores.”

Ann Butcher, an employee at Macy’s, said she was on the patio at Whole Foods when people started running and screaming. She said some women left their purses and fled.

“That was very scary,” she said.

Shopper Eric Widmer said he was at the Barnes & Noble bookstore when he saw a mother and daughter rush in crying. He said he heard someone scream, “Shooter!”

He said he managed to exit the bookstore and head to Macy’s, which he could not leave.

“I thought, ‘Great, I get to be scared twice,’” he said. “Lightning strikes twice.”

Most gun control means the victims most likely are unarmed. Nobody is storming NRA mixers in Texas because they won't get very far. Gun control will only disarm more law abiding citizens and give criminals the upper hand.

Killers are probably just laughing at the thought of disarming their target practice. They're now going on the hunt wearing riot gear and carrying multiple weapons. They're targeting movies, malls and schools where armed resistance is at its least likely. Now, they want the President to go grab all the guns so they're completely unhindered from doing their schemes.

Which is why there's no longer streakers...oh wait...

Are there more or fewer? I doubt you know either way. If the number has decreased, then the point is perfectly valid.If it's increased, then it wouldn't be. Since TV continues to refuse showing them, I'll assume they believe it cuts down the frequency.
