Man stands in mall parking lot, fires 50 shots in the air
A man stood in the parking lot of a shopping mall in Southern California on Saturday and fired 50 shots into the air.
Police didn’t say why, but his actions prompted many stores in the open-air Fashion Island mall in Newport Beach to lock their doors.
No one was hurt by the bullets raining down, but one person suffered minor injuries while trying to flee the area, police said.
Newport Beach Police quickly took the man, 42-year-old Marcos Sarinana Gurrola, into custody, but not before calling in the bomb squad when the man said he had more ammunition in the trunk of his car.

The incident came a day after a mass shooting at an elementary school in Connecticut, and last week’s fatal shooting at a mall in Oregon.
Patrick Wyrick was returning to his car when he heard the shots and, from behind the safety of his car, began capturing the scene with camera.
“I wasn't sure they were real or not. Then a heard another set of shots and then another,” he said in a video he posted on YouTube.
“My wife and daughter were at an ice cream shop in the mall when the shooting happened. They ended up running and screaming with everyone toward the opposite side of the mall.”
Other shoppers began tweeting:
There is a shooting at fashion island and I'm trapped in a department store. This is scary

I would like for CNN to be the first news organization to make a stand in denying this evil murder his fame.
don't show his face mention his name. Take a stand and do the right thing. Forget about ratings and future awards
For the coverage of this event. Be the CNN of the first IRaq war. lead and the others will follow.
This is not just another sensationalized news story. We don't need stats on this monster, who his friends were or whether he got A's in school. focus on the victims. make this about them. Do the right thing and you will have viewers for life.
Be more than the mainstream.
And the tea party aka the new KKK & GOP party aka Greed Over People don't want gun control.
What the hell is wrong with people???
Guns kill? Then how exactly do people leave a Gun Show alive?
Guns have NO other "useful" purpose! Guns are designed to KILL! Period. Who do YOU "NEED TO KILL"! hmm?
one question! why are yall pulling the race card out??? just be greatful no one was hurt!!!
The current generation of firearms feature design flaws that make them inherently unsafe products.
Firearms are designed to defend life & propert, hunt in-season animals and shoot inanimate paper targets for sport.
Current design allow for these products to be used for mass murder of unarmed civilians including children, until this design flaw can be corrected these unsafe products should be recalled and banned like any other unsafe consumer product.
It is time to act now to get rid of assault weapons, and improve our ability to assess individuals for diagnosis and treatment of mental health problems. Each and every person in this country needs to ask themselves what they CAN do and DO IT!
Look this is a mental health issue. AMerica doesn't take mental health as a serious issue, we just lock people up and dont treat them. Guns are definitely created as a tool to kill, they are useful, but their purpose is to kill. Crazy people + knifes is bad, but Crazy people + guns is much much worse. A. Start treating the mentally ill. B. Make it harder to obtain crazy AK style assault rifles....or have better background checks!
Thank God its only 50 shots and no one hurt. Had it been 51, someone would've been.
For all of those who say this animal was hispanic think twice. He is NOT! go back to school maybe if there were not so much ignorant people out there; this will be a better AMERICA!!! think about the hispanic Vicky Soto the teacher that save these American kids giving her life. ITs not time to be pulling the racist card its time to be united as one nation to change America.
UMM yES HE WAS HISPANIC.. BUT WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING??
Uh, yes he was hispanic....probably an illegal one to
When will Soledad O'Brien let her guests finish what they have to say before she cuts them off. It's almost her interviewing herself. She refuses to allow any guest to say anything that runs counter to her own "well informed" opinion.
I agree, her and that Don Lemon are the WORSE for that. Be quiet and let the folks answer the question!!! Also Don Lemon likes to pontificate long questions, diverting the original conversation. Poor habits the both of them...
She sounds like O'Reilly, Hannity and Megan. Have your ever seen how rude they are to their guests? I do not know if either of them, including Soledad are true journalist. They appear to be talk show hosts...very opinionated hosts at that!
Don Lemon also cuts people off if he disagrees with them. I do not watch Fox News that much but they also have issues with letting guest finish, but Soledad is the worst. Her interview today with the guest who pointed out some inconvenient truths was extremely rude and unprofessional. It"s like she thinks she owns and rules CNN. You can see the frustration in her morning show panel as she screams her personal opinions like Bill Maher.
You know who else is extremely bad at that is that ding wit reporter Nancy Grace. If you don't say something she agrees with she will cut you off. One of the worst reporters I have ever seen
Nancy Grace is horrible. She runs a tabloid show.
I like Anderson Cooper. He seems fair. Wolf is also pretty good. They let their guests finish their statements before they question them.
Costas runs his mouth on Football Night and every lunatic in the USA starts shooting everyone.
Yep, I'm sure these nuts were ONLY upset about Bob Costas. This is why you NEED government to control your life. Because you are too stupid to make cognoscente decisions on your own. I mean, look at your statement.
I'm SURE it had something to do with it.
WE Will take the Gun's and give you drones and more tax! We are not controlling you we are just running your life using media!
I used to think like you until I came to the conclusion that A LOT of people need it because they are too stupid to figure anything out for themselves.
Not one of these recent killers can be linked to conservatives, NRA members or Tea Party people.... Hmmm
Nore can they be linked to Sesame Street, Duck Dynasty, AARP, GreenPeace, NRA, Barnum and Bailey Circus, your local muffler shop, National Academy of Sciences, Denny's, Depends, Honey Nut Cheeros.... Hmmmmm.
Just saying....and...
Seems like Lanza didn't like females. Maybe this was gay rage ???
The country is in the toilet because people are more concerned about their ability to buy assault weapons and smoke pot than anything else. We are a nation of idiots and the world knows it. These comments shoe how selfish this country really is.
Don't group harmless pot in with your retarded cultural need for guns and violence. No one in history has ever died from pot – only from the prohibition.
lol. another Canadian pot activists. can you please not strengthen the stereotype. I dont think pot is terrible, but it's nothing to be proud of. be a activist for the sick and homeless if you really want to make a difference.
