Mall Shooter Quit Job, Was Going to Hawaii

Excerpt:

Jacob Roberts, the alleged masked gunman who killed two people in the Clackamas Town Center mall in Portland, Ore. , Dec. 11, 2012, is seen in this undated photo from a Facebook profile. (Facebook) In the days before he stole a semiautomatic weapon and stormed into an Oregon shopping mall, killing two people in a shooting spree, Jacob Roberts quit his job, sold his belongings and began to seem "numb" to those closest to him. Roberts' ex-girlfriend, Hannah Patricia Sansburn, 20, told ABC News today that the man who donned a hockey mask and opened fire on Christmas shoppers was typically happy and liked to joke around, but abruptly changed in the week before the shooting.

JERSEY CITY, N.J. –  One man says people screamed and there was panic when an escalator changed direction at a commuter rail station in Jersey City, N.J. Port Authority of New York and New Jersey spokesman Ron Marsico says four people were injured when the escalator malfunctioned Monday shortly after 9 a.m. at the Exchange Place PATH station. At least one person was taken to the hospital, but the extent of the injuries was not known. Nick Lukish, of Brooklyn, N.Y., says he was headed to work and midway up the escalator when the moving staircase started going down. The 33-year-old says he saw a stampede of people at the base while others jumped on an adjacent escalator. Lukish says he sustained cuts and bruises. Two of the station's three escalators have been shut down.
