TX - Active shooter at Allen Shopping Mall, multiple victims, 6 May 2023

[Leilei]

I feel like we could hear, "Mass Shooting" and just assume it's Texas or Florida.

ETA: I fear the day when mass shootings and school shootings become so common that they are just a news snippet, not fully broadcasted. That will be the day that we have completely lost our collective soul. G-d bless America indeed.

We're already there, or very close to it.

It appears there could have been even more wounded and dead if not for this officer.

At 3:36 p.m. on Saturday, May 6, 2023, an Allen Police Department officer on an unrelated call heard gunshots at Allen Premium Outlets. The officer engaged the suspect and neutralized the threat. He then called for emergency personnel.

Each one encourages the next. People who would have just killed themselves decades ago, become homicidal maniacs. This won’t stop, and will only increase. Have a grievance, make the news.

What is sad for me, is their locations and other info is starting to run together

We're already there, or very close to it.

Only a couple of days attention each it seems unless another happens quickly.

I’m in Ontario, Canada and this has been on our local news for the last half hour.

 

[MassGuy]

I’ve never seen a shooting like this with so little information. This isn’t normal

 

[MassGuy]

CNN said 2 died at hospital. We saw 4 dead outside

Sorry 8 dead, gunman does not count.

I agree. At the presser, they asked anyone with information to call the FBI tip line. None of the dead or injured have been identified nor did they give an ID to the shooter.

This fate was brought upon people by people

To quote Eddie Izzard, the guns help.

I was disgusted by the press conference tonight. Only two people in it acknowledged the victims. Everyone focused on praising the cop who shot the killer and giving prayers. I'll bet not ONE of those victims' families will give one rat's *advertiser censored** about the prayers from the local officials. What a joke. I felt they are in CYA mode big time. Provided the absolutely most minimal information possible.

I dunno. This guy could have killed dozens more if not for that engagement. He ran towards the threat and wiped his *advertiser censored* out.

But yeah, I agree with your criticism regarding the victims.

Do they know who he is yet?
