was found at the scene. now officials are saying that note was actually left with his family. officials are not calling it a suicide note it does express that an end is coming. >> i do not believe that mr. shoop thought he would come out of here this evening alive. it could have been a suicide by cop intention, but it did not appear at least at the outset from what we know now that his intention was to shoot any. >> that was the case unlike so many shootings, this is different in that no one was hurt. it was just before 9:30 local time last night before the mall was to close that shoop walked in and fired six shots. we learned that he fires those straight up in the air so basically in the ceiling. he was dressed in black wearing a motorcycle helmet. one witness said shoop appeared calm. >> looked like he was having fun enjoying shooting. i don't think he was shooting

attention, if approved this would go way beyond what stay lawmakers and even the government has try to do do. if this passes the nra made it very clear that they will go ahead and sep in and sue to try to stop its implementation. it would prohibit magazines over 10 and require people to report lost or stolen guns within 48 hours, require firearms to be locked up when not in use. and would require registration for ammo purchase which stellar would have to keep on file. propo meants say this might help prevent mass shootings. even michael bloomberg chipped in financially but the nra says it wouldn't reduce violent crime or accidents and they are read the go to court. sunnyvale's mayor had this to say. >> the first night i believe the

must keep on file for at least two years. the nra says this amounts to infringement on the right to bear arms. >> the first statement we're going to sue you. then sue us. because we have to stand up for the people who need to be protected. >> reporter: the mayor is the driving force behind c, says this isn't about reducing crime but making it safer for people who have guns in the home. i reached out to the mayor to find out when and where he might be voting. haven't heard back. christie smith, "today in the bay." >> thank you, christie. reminder on this election day, stay with nbc bay area. both on air and on line, for the latest election results. you can visit nbcbayarea.com and search election. >> new this morning the search for a suspect after a police chase spanning a good deal of the south bay has been called off. the chase started around 10:30 last night at the intersection of fair oaks avenue and central expressway in sunnyvale.
