Spring Seems To Bring Out The Idiots To The Malls In Michigan

Two serious false alarms at local malls today.

First there was a bomb threat at Nordstroms in Novi.

The Detroit News:  Nordstrom at Novi mall reopens after bomb threat

Police responded to the store around 12:03 p.m. after the threat was called in over the telephone, Zinser said.

"The caller was demanding $2,000 in gift cards or else he was going to blow up the store," Zinser said. "Since then, we've not found any suspicious packages."

So it was not just a stupid fake threat, but it was an attempt to gain money to boot. Hopefully they catch the moron.

Then, there was a false report this evening of a shooting incident at Great Lakes Mall.

Turns out that it was false as well.


Police say there is no "confirmed shooter" and no injuries after responding Saturday night to a report of an active shooter at Great Lakes Crossing Outlets in Auburn Hills.

"There was a report of an active shooter at Great Lakes Crossing Mall," the Auburn Hills Police Department said in a tweet posted shortly after 7 p.m. "There has been no confirmed shooter, there is no one injured at this time. Police personnel are on scene clearing the mall at this time."

That's two fakes at two nearby malls in one day. 

Spring seems to be blooming a fine crop of idiots around here.
