THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. — A man argued with his former wife at a Southern California mall before shooting her to death and turning the gun on himself, authorities said, leading shoppers to run into stores and out the exits Saturday. The 33-year-old Los Angeles-area gunman was wounded and taken to a hospital, officials said. The gunshots at the shopping centre with open-air and indoor shopping space led to some chaos and a lockdown. Jeffrey Simpson, 17, was shopping with his mother at a department store when an announcement came over the intercom about a threat outside the mall. “I went to Nordstrom to get pants, and the next thing I know, the doors are being sealed,” Simpson told The Associated Press.
