[NBCDFW]
Eight people are dead and at least seven others are injured after a mass shooting at the Allen Premium Outlets Saturday afternoon, according to police officials. Allen Fire Chief Jonathan Boyd confirmed at about 9 p.m. Saturday that the gunman killed six people at the mall and injured at least nine others. Of the nine who were hospitalized, two later died bringing the total number of people killed to nine, including the gunman. The seven known survivors being treated include three patients who are critical and four who are stable. Medical City Healthcare told NBC 5 they were providing trauma care to shooting victims who ranged in age from 5 years old to 61 years old. Boyd cautioned that there could be additional victims who were injured in the shooting and who were taken to hospitals in other ways. U.S. Rep. Keith Self (R-McKinney, District 3) said on Twitter at about 6:15 p.m. that the gunman was no longer a threat and that there were a number of casualties, which Allen Chief of Police Brian Harvey later confirmed at a news conference at about 6:30 p.m. Harvey said an officer was at the outlet mall responding to an unrelated call when he heard gunfire. Harvey said the officer ran toward the gunfire, found the gunman and "neutralized" him. The officer then made the call for ambulances. Harvey said they believe the gunman acted alone and that there is no ongoing threat to the community. "Our deepest sympathies are with the families of the victims," said Harvey. "This is a tragedy, people will be looking for answers, we're sorry that those families are experiencing that loss." Read the rest at the link |

| #19 Seems LE is quickly coming to a conclusion on motive. I'm still waiting on the Nashville shooting manifesto. It's just how things roll out these days. |

| #14 Wrong demographic. Gun may turn out to be not legally obtained. Mental health angle? Off duty cop stopped it with his gun in a no guns zone while everyone else took TikTok videos. Bzzzt. Bzzzt. BZZZT! Narrative violation alert. Memory hole. Memory hole. Memory hole. |

| #13 That translator part lends one to believe at face value that there's a Hispanic angle to this tragedy being in Texas and all that. An Asian perp would be a twist. Scumbag. |

| #12 Initial report says asian, lived with parents, wore security guard style clothing. FBI in lead at residence with translator needed. https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/crime/who-was-allen-outlet-mall-shooter-what-we-know/287-6e49cb7a-304e-43fa-b791-990ea8780f28 |

| #10 And it is illegals from all over the world (Asia, Haiti, Somalia, etc.) who end up in Dallas, not just central America. |

| #9 Shooter lived in the city of Dallas, a sanctuary city. Allen is a suburb of the cesspool that strangely 100% of the elections are won by Democrats in perceived "fair" elections. |

| #8 From PJ Media: FBI agents say the family has requested a translator. So not an english speaking family. |

| #7 one of the sites I saw (lost link sorry) said he appeared to be a Hispanic male with a tatoo on his hand. |

| #6 No further information about the shooter. Gee. I wonder why? |

| #5 Surrounded by two of the safest suburbs in Texas, upper middle class, good schools, huge high school, football 'star nursery'. I was at the mall a few weeks ago. |
