Suspect in New Jersey mall shooting found dead

Authorities don’t believe a gunman who killed himself after causing a lockdown at New Jersey’s largest shopping mall wanted to hurt anyone. Bergen County Prosecutor John Molinelli tells ABC’s “Good Morning America” that 20-year-old Richard Shoop went into the Garden State Plaza Mall with the intent that he was not going to come out alive.

While the prosecutor would not call it a suicide note, Molinelli says it did “express that an end is coming.” Shoop’s body was found in a back corridor on the lower level of the mall in Paramus early Tuesday. Chaos erupted Monday shortly before the mall’s 9:30 p.m. closing time. Authorities say Shoop walked in dressed in black and fired shots. There were no injuries. AP
