Info cover

@Brian Kendig this is a new article so this page shouldn't be deleted. (I just added the background section). I intend to expand it. I just added info that's NOT covered in the Mall of America article. Cyber the tiger 🐯 (talk) 16:56, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Still, the "Notable criminal incidents" section of the parent article contains paragraphs for four other incidents, and appears to cover them adequately. What about this specific incident merits it having its own article? How else do you intend to expand it? - Brian Kendig (talk) 20:43, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Other incidents like this, such as the recent ALCS shooting have their own article. Cyber the tiger 🐯 (talk) 21:56, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The other incidents aren't quite as notable Cyber the tiger 🐯 (talk) 21:57, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
