Multiple people were shot, some fatally, at a mall near Dallas by a gunman who authorities believe was acting alone — and who is now dead — and at least nine victims were transported to trauma facilities, officials said
A Dallas-area medical group says it is treating victims as young as 5 years old. Authorities in Allen, Texas, responded to the shooting at an outlet mall in the afternoon, with ATF personnel on the scene at Allen Premium Outlets. There was a search for a second gunman, according to a source, but police now say they believe the shooter acted alone. Video from above the scene showed hundreds of shoppers exiting the area, many holding their hands up.
The City of Allen tweeted: “Our hearts are with the individuals and families impacted by this tragic event.” US Rep Keith Self also told CNN’s Paula Reid that there are multiple casualties but he declined to specify a number, saying he would leave that to law enforcement. “The shooter is dead and I am told by law enforcement that there was only one shooter, they have now confirmed that,” the Republican representative said.
