Following the deadly shooting Saturday that claimed the lives of eight people, the National Retail Federation hopes the incident will spur action by those in charge.
PUBLISHED 12:46 PM CDT May 10, 2023ALLEN, Texas — As the investigation into the Allen Premium Outlets shooting moves forward, calls for legislators to act on stricter gun laws are growing louder. On Saturday, a lone gunman killed eight people and injured at least seven more during a shooting at the Allen Premium Outlets in Allen, Texas
The risk of working in retail looms for workers. One victim, 20-year-old Christian LaCour, worked as security at the outlet mall. In a news conference on Tuesday, authorities confirmed LaCour saved someone during the incident and attempted to save others before being shot to death by 33-year-old Mauricio Garcia.
The Allen Premium Outlets shooting edged Texas to No. 2 behind California for most mass shootings in the country. It’s the second mass shooting in the Lone Star state in less than three weeks — a lone gunman earlier shot and killed five of his neighbors in what police described as an “execution-style” shooting in Cleveland, Texas. So far, in 2023, 17 mass shootings have taken place in Texas, while the national average sits at 4.04.
