Iowa Mall Guard Shoots, Kills Young Woman




[From article]
The Coralville Police Department said Kozak had been a security officer at the mall since late 2014 and was at work on Friday before the shooting.
“[Special Agent in-charge Richard Rahn] interviewed Kozak who stated he had left the mall, retrieved a gun from his residence in North Liberty. He said he returned to the mall, intentionally shot the victim in the back three times, then fled,” said a statement from the Coralville Police Department.
Police said Kozak used a 9mm glock to shoot Farrington. Investigators recovered three 9mm casings and three fired bullets from the scene.
Farrington, a 2012 graduate of Montezuma High School, had a job with the Iowa Children’s Museum and was working at the museum in the mall’s welcome center at the time of the shooting, according to police. She had been employed with them for more than six months. According to her family, it was her dream job.
