SILLY-BALLERZ & PAINT-STUPID CANADA: Man with 'lookalike AK-47' arrested at gunpoint at Lime Ridge Mall - durhamregion.com | Thumpy's 3D House of Airsoft™ @ Scoop.it | Scoop.it

"...Natalie Barbon, a clerk at Hallmark, said she never saw the man come in with the paintball gun, but witnessed the aftermath.

"There was a lot of shouting as they rushed him out of the mall. A lot of cops and security and it all happened so fast, it was over in five minutes. I was a little nervous. Given a situation like that, no one knows what will happen."

Staff Sgt. Cox said the man was dressed in black and smoking as he walked through the mall.
