Surveillance Images from Omaha

The shooter in Omaha is getting his wish.

He's famous.

The latest:

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) -- In the first surveillance images released of a teenage gunman's deadly rampage inside a department store, the shaggy-haried assailant can be seen raising an assault rifle to fire in front of a store mannequin.
Police released three still images Friday, two days after Robert A. Hawkins killed eight people and himself at Westroads Mall's Von Maur store.

The series of images shows Hawkins walking into the mall unarmed in a black sweat shirt and glasses, then striding through an entrance decked with holiday decorations six minutes later. In the last image, he is shown with his sleeves rolled up, aiming the AK-47 to fire.

These are the names and faces to remember:

The shoppers killed were Gary Scharf, 48, of Lincoln, and John McDonald, 65, of Council Bluffs, Iowa. The employees killed were Angie Schuster, 36; Maggie Webb, 24; Janet Jorgensen, 66; Diane Trent, 53; Gary Joy, 56; and Beverly Flynn, 47, all of Omaha.

In another development related to the case:

Also Thursday, Bellevue police arrested a 17-year-old friend of Hawkins who they said threatened to kill a teenage girl who had made remarks about Hawkins that offended his friend, Chief John Stacey said.

The teen was being held in a juvenile detention center on suspicion of making terroristic threats, Stacey said. Police found a rifle and two shotguns at the teen's house, weapons he had access to, the chief said.

You mean the 17-year-old friend who threatened to kill a girl isn't protected by the First Amendment?

Maybe he was just being facetious and mischievous.

Sure, there were guns at his house. So what?

James Buss had guns at his house.
