So my family lives about 10 minutes from a pretty high end mall (the anchors are Dillards, Saks Fifth Ave, and Nordstrom). We get into our parking spot at around 6:45 tonight for a random mall walk with our 22 month old. We spend about a hour or so in the mall just walking/talking/window shopping.
We get done and go back out to our car and we see cops milling around the parking area we parked and as we sorta see some police tape in an area close to our car.. A police officer sees us walking toward the area and stops us and asks where our car is at.. We tell him just up the way next to his police car. He calls it in to make sure we are able to go to our car, says we’re good but he needs to escort us. As we are walking we see a lone car with bullet holes littering the left side of the car. My wife proceeds to quietly, to me, shit herself and tells us we need to leave ASAP (well duh). When we get our car, and before we can leave, the cop had to check for BULLET HOLES. Luckily none, and we make our way home... If we were just 15 minutes later than we were, we would have been involved/witness to a shooting.

Happy you and your family are safe. A majority of my family lives in and around Mentor so it makes sense Beechwood sounded and looked familiar. Stay safe!

Not to distract from your own situation, but that reminded me of my own car/bullet close call.
One day when my mom was taking me home in the 7th grade, a stray bullet hit our car. Swedish steel on our old Volvo held up and it didn’t go through but it made a pretty nasty dent in passenger door. Could’ve been bad if the bullet was 18 in higher or was traveling quicker.
Didn’t even know what happened until we got back and saw the door. It just sounded like a big rock being kicked up or running over a can or something.
We startedd taking a different route after that though.

You don’t want your car to get aerodynamic freedom holes? What are you, a communist?

Hmm I will always stop myself before exiting a mall in America and give 15 minutes for parking lot drive bys to get over.....but then, what if someone decides to do a mall mass shooting in those 15 minutes?
That’s a tough call.
I’m glad you and your wife are okay!

The closest I’ve got to a bullet was one leaving the end of a handgun I own.

Friend of mine got pulled over for having bullet holes in his car.
...he put them there himself.
Stay safe
