| Maryland mall to reopen after fatal weekend shooting Posted: 27 Jan 2014 07:15 AM PST  (Reuters) - A Maryland mall where a 19-year-old gunman shot and killed two young store employees before apparently taking his own life was scheduled to reopen on Monday with increased law enforcement presence, police said. The popular retail complex in Columbia, Maryland, about 20 miles west of Baltimore, has been closed since Darion Marcus Aguilar fired six to eight shots from a 12-gauge shotgun on Saturday as the mall bustled with weekend shoppers. Police are still investigating what drove Aguilar, of College Park, Maryland, to shoot and whether he knew the two employees of a clothing and skateboard shop who died. No evidence has revealed a relationship between Aguilar and the victims, Brianna Benlolo, 21, also of College Park, and Tyler Johnson, 25, of Mount Airy, Maryland, Howard County Police Chief Bill McMahon said on Sunday.
