Okay, this pisses me off a little bit. The holiday season is upon us and in the past week, I've had two friends get their cars broken into right in front of their houses and now I hear this story. A man, holiday shopping with his wife on Sunday night, was shot during a carjacking at the Short Hills Mall parking garage. The man was later pronounced dead. That sucks! Not to mention, this is the second New Jersey mall shooting in the past few months. This time, the shooter had a purpose. He wanted the man's vehicle. This is why sometimes it pays to shop online. So, you don't have to deal with idiots like these.
Anyway, the 30-year-old man, who was from Hudson County remained nameless, was about to hop into the driver's seat of his 2012 silver Range Rover when two callous goons approached him in the deck of The Mall at Short Hills in Millburn about 9 p.m. That's when several shots were fired, but only one struck the man in the head. The man was rushed to Morristown Medical Center and pronounced dead at 11:35 p.m.
One witness heard the gunshots, followed by the woman's horrified screams, as both crooks jumped into the stolen car and fled east onto Route 24 at about 100 miles per hour. The wife was not injured said Essex County Prosecutor Carolyn Murray, who explained that the couple was on the third floor of the parking deck when the man opened the car door for his wife and then entered the driver's side door when he was shot. She added, "We do not know why that car was targeted, but it obviously was a car with some value." Um, duh! It was a Range Rover! I'm sure these thugs happened to be scoping out the parking lot and waiting for the person with the nicest car to leave. Unfortunately, for this couple, they were the un-lucky winners.
Police are still searching for the assailants, who are still at large! There is an alert out for the silver Range Rover with license plate U26BVD. What the hell is wrong with our society that we feel like we're above the law? I hope these scumbags get caught and get sentenced to death. This is ridiculous and now wife is without a husband, a family is without a son, and friends are without their buddy for the holiday season and forever, for that matter. All over what? A car? It sounds like this guy did not even put up a fight. He was just shot at. I am sure, this couple would have given up their car if they were held at gun point. This is such a sad story that pisses me off!
