Mall shooting shows that public safety is failing

Two people were shot Saturday at the Haywood Mall in South Carolina.

A 17 year old is in jail for the attack.

Stores were forced to lock their doors to keep people safe.

Malls have very little real security to stop this kind of violence.

Guards are low paid and have no training for shooters.

This is the new normal for everyday life.

You are on your own when you go out in public.

People are scared to go shopping because they might get caught in a fight.

Safety in public is now just a guess.
