A gunman shot multiple people at an outlet mall in the Dallas suburb of Allen, Texas, on Saturday, killing an unknown number and sending hundreds of shoppers fleeing in panic in the latest gun violence to strike the country, officials said.
At least nine victims with gunshot wounds were taken to hospitalsCalls reporting gunshots came in about 3:40pm local time from the Allen Premium Outlets.
"The officer engaged the suspect and neutralised the threat. He then called for emergency personnel. Nine victims were transported to local hospitals by Allen Fire Department," the agency wrote in the Facebook post. "There is no longer an active threat." Fontayne Payton, 35, was at H&M when he heard the sound of gunshots through the headphones he was wearing.People in the store scattered before employees ushered the group into the fitting rooms and then a lockable back room, he said.
