Eight people were killed and seven wounded Saturday in suburban Allen, Texas, before the assailant was killed by a police officer
Another American community mourned Sunday for lives lost to a mass shooting – this time at a Dallas-area outlet mall where a gunman stepped out of a sedan and opened fire on shoppers.
“Some of our people were there. Some perhaps in this room. Some of our students were working in those stores and will be changed forever by this,” Caton said. Police did not immediately provide details about the victims at Allen Premium Outlets, a sprawling outdoor shopping centre, but witnesses reported seeing children among them. Some said they also saw what appeared to be a police officer and a mall security guard unconscious on the ground.
Dashcam video circulating online showed the gunman getting out of a car and shooting at people on the sidewalk. More than three dozen shots could be heard as the vehicle that was recording the video drove off. Mass killings have happened with staggering frequency in the United States this year, with an average of about one per week, according to a database maintained by the Associated Press and USA Today in partnership with Northeastern University.
Further away, he saw the body of a heavy-set man wearing all black. He assumed it was the shooter, Payton said, because unlike the other bodies it had not been covered.
