Police Release Details on Columbia Mall Shooter

Darion Aguilar 'mentions killing people, but in general terms,' in his journal, police said.

Little was known about Darion Aguilar, 19, the man behind Saturday's shootings at The Mall in Columbia, and whether he was connected in any way to the victims, police said in the days that followed.

In short bursts, the Howard County Police Department on Wednesday released findings from his journal, which police recovered during a search of his College Park Home.
