Allen Premium Outlets on lockdown after reports of an active shooter

UPDATE: Officials said there are at least nine victims following a shooting at the Allen Premium Outlets Saturday afternoon. The gunman has also been confirmed dead.

Allen Police Chief Brian Harvey said at 3:36 p.m. May 6, an officer was on an unrelated call at the outlet mall when he heard gunshots. When he followed the gunshots, Chief Harvey said the officer "saw" then "neutralized" the suspect before calling for ambulances.

Chief Harvey said multiple agencies helped evacuate the open-air mall and have been helping work the scene.

The Allen Fire Department reported they transported nine victims to nearby trauma facilities, but that there could be more victims who were taken by private vehicles.

Video posted to social media captured the sound of gunfire at the open-air mall, and there are rumors circulating there are multiple victims.

Some shopper there said he saw the shooter walking outside shooting at people. There were reports of chldren who were shot by the gunman. The gunman must have been on a suicide mission. Surely he knew lawenforcement was not going to let him get away.

Who do the police shoot when they spot someone with a firearm? 😮Who is the good guy, who is the bad guy?

All it takes some strict measures, why common peoples lives are so cheap to mentally sick billionaires and their puppets in the house and senate.

How many gun laws does it take to make murder illegal?

This problem is only going to get worse. That's the price of doing nothing.

A message from Governor Abbotts office didn’t mention thoughts and prayers, but acknowledges that Texas has surpassed Florida in mass gun violence murders. He’s hopeful that Texas can hold that lead going into his reelection campaign.

This sounds soooo familiar. Where has this happened before? 🤔. Oh EVERYWHERE!

This is why the conversation about Jordan Neely were fucking ridiculous. Same people arguing about him posing a threat and yelling want you to be to okay with people owning and walking around with weapons that can kill multiple within seconds even though shooting after shooting happens.

All those good guys with guns need to do something. Open carry state, where is your NRA 2A hero? More guns than common sense in this state.

[commonsense]

I'm sure more folks died in Chicago today still.
