(Spoiler) Was anyone killed at the mall...


besides the bad guys and Stormy? I don't remember if they said or not. What happened to the bowling people that he was trying to save in the first place?

reply

a whole lot of windows died that day...

reply

Least one security guard, maybe a few others during the shoot all the windows deal but yeah it never really took off.

reply

One guy in the garage.

reply

In the book 19 people die in the mall.

reply

Seriously? Remember the woman who led Odd to the loading dock where the bomb was? She went right through the door because she was dead. And the guy who loaned Odd the grinder was shot and killed by the bad cop.

"Economy or style? Style!"

reply

that was the girl who was chased by the dogs. the chiefs daughter? it was never really clear on who she was, or that she died but it was her not someone at the mall

reply

Well, whoever she was, she wasn't the chief's daughter. The book states that the chief and his wife never had children. That's why some in the police force saw the chief as a sort of surrogate father to Odd.

He meant the girl killed by the dogs ..

If you are going to mock someone by asking "seriously?", perhaps you should check yourself first. Yes the grinder man was killed at the mall but the woman had been killed by the dogs well before the mall shooting. I think the OP, like myself, was wondering just how the gunman spayed fire all over the place and seemed to hit nothing but a bunch of windows and Stormy. Ridiculous.

I would say my memory is not what it used to be. But I don't remember what my memory used to be.

reply

I think your operative word is "seemed." Truth is we DON'T know if there were casualties in the mall other than the obvious ones. If the book says 19, that's good enough for me.

Two security men watching monitors--in addition to the others that have men listed

reply

yes a few people died. The security guards, Stormy, the guy at the truck, those girls that lead Odd to the bomb..

reply

It seemed to me the shooters were just a distraction for Nico Tortorella's character to set the explosives. They weren't really trying to hit anyone, but to create chaos.

Lysette (the blonde mauled to death by the dogs) wasn't the Chief's daughter. Different surnames.

reply

Also, the chief didn't have kids (according to the book).
