VA Apple store closed due to shooting, armed robbery attempt

All these comments and not one mention about guns and the violence in our country that they breed. Arlington or Anacostia--it's the guns, stupid.

The absence of any comment about how outraged we need to be about these weapons just smacks of our acceptance of them. Business as usual, eh?

So let's ramp up our scenario to imagine "several armed gunMEN stormed through the delivery door located at the rear of an Apple Store in an upscale area of Virginia today, killing dozens of men, women and children with dozens of rounds fired from assault rifles. No one was left alive."

Columbine, Virginia Tech, churches, recruiting stations, computer stores. What a harrowing country to be living in. Even more harrowing with guns.

yes i had this problem ever since i got an Airport extreme

Maybe someone wanted a free iPhone 3GS ;)

For those interested, Joshlyn (the woman shot, an acquaintance) is doing fine and even got a call from Steve Jobs checking up on her. Not too shabby!

If you've got to get shot . . .

a. Make it go through you without hitting something important.
b. Make it a place you can show the scar without getting arrested.
c. Make a scrapbook so when you tell your grandkids, you have proof.
d. Get shot for doing something heroic.
e. Learn to sigh and say "I'm fine . . . really."
f. Accept sympathy from idiots without telling them they're idiots.

I feel for the employee and hope she has a speedy recovery.
Now:

@Kevin Gass LMAO...

Just remember even with sympathy humor can still exist....

Remy had it right - it's a straight up thug town, that Arlington! Totally not surprised to hear about a shooting in the Clizzledizzle... ;)

I've shopped there - great little store and easily the best store to shop at in the DC Area as it's always quieter and friendlier.

Hope the staff member gets better soon!

Wow, thats where I bought my MacBook Pro. It was the 4th store we went to that day because none of the closer ones had 15" glossy screens...

They were really nice, I hope the employee is ok.

Wow, that is my local store, scary stuff. And to the idiots posting on here, have some common decency and act like adults for crying out loud.
