A 20-year-old man suspected of firing multiple shots and causing a lockdown at New Jersey's largest shopping mall was found dead of a self-inflicted wound Tuesday.
The body of 20-year-old Richard Shoop was found in a back area of the Garden State Plaza mall in Paramus. He said Shoop killed himself with the same weapon he used at the mall and that a note was found. There were no other injuries. Police are still seeking a motive for the shooting.

The Russellville School District believes an anonymous student made violent threats in an online chatroom to another group of students early Monday morning, which prompted an all-day lockdown.
Parents came to pick up their children from Russellville Middle School worried for their safety. Many heard the news through social media, where the district notified parents of additional security at the school.
The district says increased security will continue through today.

The Jonathan Martin-Richie Incognito story has taken a darker, more bizarre turn.
After the Miami Dolphins suspended Incognito for his role in Martin leaving the team, new details have emerged in the story. There appears to be some new evidence via threatening and racially-charged voice mails that Incognito left Martin earlier this year.
Incognito, who has a long list of trouble dating back to college, probably won't see his suspension overturned anytime soon. Now comes the question of whether he'll play another snap in the NFL ever again.

Residents in a North Little Rock neighborhood can begin voting this week on an ordinance that would legalize alcohol sales in the area.
Park Hill is the only dry section of the city, and it's been that way since the 1960s. The proposal would permit the sales of liquor by the drink in restaurants. Liquor stores would still be banned from the neighborhood.
The Pulaski County Election Commission has set early voting for today through Friday. The election is November 12. Early voting will be at the Laman Library in North Little Rock and at the Pulaski County Regional Building on Markham.
