Life returns to near-normal after Columbia mall shooting

This is where it happened, but you'd never know it. During a drizzly weekday lunch hour at the Mall in Columbia, clusters of moms wheel strollers over the marble floors toward the food court. In the display window at Zumiez, a popular skate and surf shop, an employee kneels to cuff a mannequin's jeans. Outside the store, a steady flow of shoppers ambles past without a second glance.
