Suicide a Popular MALL!? 17 yr old boy was landed on and was taken to the hopspital with serious injuries

A woman leaped to her death from the third floor of the Queens Center Mall around 3 p.m. on Wednesday, landing on and injuring a high school student on the lower level of the shopping center in Elmhurst, four stories below. Shoppers screamed and ran. Police officers and the Queens district attorney, Richard A. Brown, arrived to help calm the crowd.

Mr. Brown said the woman was in her early to mid-50s and in the company of two teenagers when she jumped. It appeared that she had leaped from near a T-Mobile cellphone kiosk in the center of the atrium, and landed near a Tax Solvers kiosk on the lower level, set up to deal with the busy tax season.

There was a teenager sitting in one of four leather massage chairs on the lower level of the mall when the woman fell onto him, striking his head. At the mall, custodians were seen wrapping the four chairs in black plastic to take them out.

The student was identified by family members as Derrik Munoz, 17, who attends Amityville High School.
