The incident took place about 6:45 p.m. Sunday in the men’s department of the Macy’s at the megamall in Bloomington, Minn.
The suspect tried to take something from a customer who had briefly left his belongings inside a first-floor fitting room, Bloomington Police Chief Jeff Potts said at a news conference.
You know how you go into the fitting room and you change your clothes, you go out maybe to show your family?” Potts told reporters. “It sounds like what happened is, when [the customer] went out to show his family the items that he was trying on, the suspect was back in the fitting room and attempted to take some property.”
Potts added that the suspect was attempting to steal items that belonged to the customer, not things that were property of the department store.
After the customer returned to the fitting room and discovered the attempted theft, the robber pulled out a knife and stabbed the customer, police said.
One of the customer’s family members heard the altercation and intervened, also getting stabbed in the process.
Both victims were taken to a hospital with stab wounds that were not life-threatening, police said.“There’s nothing to indicate that it was anything more than a crime of opportunity with some property that would have been unattended at the time,” Hartley said. “One of the reasons we had a press conference was we knew there may be people who wanted to draw that parallel, especially once we released the suspect’s name. We’re not even looking down that road.”
Bloomington MN, site of the mall, has less than half the violent crime rate than the entire US (rating of 12.4 out of 100 vs 31.1) and about one quarter that of Des Moines Iowa (45.2). Must be all those criminal Somalis making it so low. http://www.bestplaces.net/compare-ci...oines_ia/crime

Sounds like other American families.A pilgrimage to Mall of America on Eid al Adha
BLOOMINGTON, Minn. (KMSP) - Eid Al Adha is the biggest religious holiday in the Muslim world. Thousands of Muslims from across Minnesota turned out at the Mall Of America Monday to bring an age old tradition into a new world.
"The reason we come to the mall is they have everything. The kids can play. You can see family you haven't seen in a long time," Deka Ali, who traveled from East Grand Forks, N.D., said.
To honor the end of the Islamic pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia, many Minnesota Muslims make a pilgrimage of their own to the Mall Of America to shop, visit with family and friends and of course, go on rides, for the holiest of holidays, Eid Al Adha.
It is the second of two Eid holidays; the other marks the end of Ramadan, which are attended by anywhere from 25,000 to 40,000 Muslims at the MOA.
"The Mall Of America is part of our Somali culture here in Minnesota,” volunteer and Somali community organizer Abdi Bihi said. “We love malls. We have seven Somali malls. This is where we work, where we shop and where we enjoy. We feel very safe and a part of it.”
The day began with morning prayers at the Minneapolis Convention Center and at a park in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood to commemorate the prophet Ibrihim's willingness to sacrifice his only son, who God eventually replaced with a lamb.
But instead of slaughtering an animal to share with loved ones and the poor like back in Somalia, many Muslims in Minnesota opt for the food court at the MOA, to not only nourish the bodies, but to feed the souls of the next generation.
"The majority, over 70 percent, are young people. They were born here. Their food is American food. That's how they slaughter – pizzas," Bihi said.
But for many, a day of sacrifice and giving is the best way to take this age old tradition for a ride.
"I'm glad I’m surrounded by family and friends and my kids are happy. It’s all about that. Seeing the glow in them for the holiday," Ali said.
One of the biggest problems is parents losing track of their kids, so there are plenty of volunteers to help out. Volunteers also help translate for mall security and stores who want to offer their services to Muslim visitors.

James Brown is the man .
The Minnesota state motto is in French . How unamerican is that ? Translates to north star . Alaska has the Big Dipper making Minnesota less important .... The Norway Pine is the state tree of Minnesota , also UnAmerican . If I was dictator of Minnesota I would have designated one of the following native trees as state tree ; American Basswood , American Elm , American Hornbeam ( Blue Beach ) , or American Mountain Ash . They will never be great again until they turn it over to me .

Not so much. In the mall around here, you go there to shop, you don't have to talk to mall security unless you $#@! up somehow, and parents don't lose their kids.One of the biggest problems is parents losing track of their kids, so there are plenty of volunteers to help out.

We should name our mall Mall of Somalia though, since it is Somali free...

I could go for a pair of alpaca socks though if any of you are going ......
