More on Mall Shooter

KINGSTON, N.Y. -- A 24-year-old man was arraigned early Monday on assault charges after he allegedly opened fire in a crowded shopping mall, wounding two people and sending shoppers scrambling for safety.

Robert Bonelli was arraigned shortly before 1 a.m. in Ulster Town Court on first- and second-degree assault and reckless endangerment, according to Brian Woltman, a dispatcher for the Town of Ulster Police Department.

Bonelli, of nearby Saugerties, was being held in Ulster County Jail without bail pending a town court appearance on Wednesday, Woltman said.

Finally, a name! I wonder if we'll hear a motive anytime soon.

#3  And it'd better die there too. If they couldn't renew the one that just sunsetted they won't get anything new through either.

#2  The "assault rifle" aspect is going to send Hillary and Schumer into a fit. New "assault weapons" legislation will be coming out of the Senate soon.

#1  Calm down, folks. He's just a nut. Show's over. Nothing to see here.
A man who opened fire in a crowded shopping mall with an assault weapon, wounding two, seemed to have a "lurid fascination" with the Columbine High School shooting, a prosecutor said Monday.
Desmond Dutcher, who lives below the Bonellis, said he saw the suspect just hours before the shooting and he appeared "completely fine." Dutcher described Bonelli as friendly but quiet. "I know he's upstairs a lot, doesn't go out too much, doesn't have a lot of friends," Dutcher said.

Yeah, that's always a good sign...
