In the Nordstrom store yesterday, escalators were running and customers were riding them. The third-floor customer service area where the incident began was open as usual.
"I figured today would be the safest day of all," said Sarah Mead, 17, who was shopping for a prom dress with a friend.
Stepped-up security measures in the store included uniformed guards, who are not typically used by the store.
Counselors were on hand yesterday at the mall and at the Bullis School in Potomac, where Greismann works as an upper school librarian, said Tom Farquhar, head of the school.
Farquhar said the mall is a popular shopping spot for faculty, students and students' families.
"This is in our neighborhood, and it's generally thought of as a very safe place," Farquhar said. "It's alarming and confusing to have a place in the community that you thought of as safe to be the location for a senseless and disturbing incident of violence."
Staff writers Katherine Shaver and Allison Klein and staff researcher Bobbye Pratt contributed to this report.
