What we know about the shooting at Allen Premium Outlets mall

At least nine people were killed and seven others wounded in a shooting at the Allen Premium Outlets mall Saturday afternoon, and a police officer killed the shooter.

Here’s what we know thus far:

‘Active shooter incident’

At 4:30 p.m., the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives’ Dallas office said it was responding to an “active shooter incident” at the mall in the 800 block of West Stacy Road, near U.S. Highway 75.

In dashcam video, a person is seen getting out of a silver sedan in the mall’s parking lot. The shooter opens fire at people on a sidewalk.

Dozens of shots can be heard as the shooter approaches the shoppers and the vehicle recording the footage drives away.

Where did the shooting happen?

Helicopter footage showed at least four white tarps beside what appeared to be blood on the concrete outside an H&M store.

How many people were killed and wounded?

Nine people were killed, including the shooter.

Authorities said seven people were pronounced dead at the outlet mall, including the gunman. Nine victims were taken to hospitals, and two of them later died.

At least three of the seven surviving patients taken to local hospitals were in critical condition Sunday, according to a Medical City Healthcare statement.

The three patients listed in critical condition were being treated at Medical City McKinney. A fourth patient also being treated at the hospital was listed in “fair condition.” Two others patients were listed in fair condition with one being treated at Medical City Plano and the other at Medical City Children’s Hospital.

It wasn’t immediately clear what hospital the final patient was being treated at and what their condition was as of Sunday afternoon.

Gunman killed

Allen police said an officer who was nearby on an unrelated call and heard the gunfire “engaged the suspect and neutralized the threat” and then called for emergency responders.

The Texas Department of Public Safety confirmed in a news release late Sunday the assailant was Mauricio Garcia. Officials said he was 34, while public records list him as 33.

Law-enforcement sources told The Dallas Morning News on Sunday that agencies were executing search warrants late Saturday at the Budget Suites hotel at 8150 N Stemmons Freeway and at a home in northeast Dallas.

It was unclear how long the suspected gunman had been staying at the hotel.

Who responded?

Dozens of law enforcement vehicles from several North Texas agencies were seen parked near the mall, including Allen, Frisco, McKinney and Wylie police and the Collin County constable.

ATF and Texas Department of Public Safety agents were also on scene.

Police said the agencies secured the scene and there was no longer an active threat Saturday evening.

What are Texas lawmakers saying?

In a statement, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott called Saturday’s shooting an “unspeakable tragedy.”

“Our hearts are with the people of Allen, Texas,” he wrote.

In an interview with Fox News, Abbott said he will head to Allen on Sunday to “begin the process of providing hope and healing.”

On Twitter, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who lives in McKinney — just a few miles from the mall — said to “pray for these families and for law enforcement.”

Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick also asked for prayers for the families and friends of the victims.

“We are grateful for our brave first responders who were deployed to stop the shooter and investigate this hideous crime,” Patrick said in an emailed statement.

120 stores

The mall, roughly 35 miles north of Dallas, is owned by Indianapolis-based Simon Property Group. The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

One of the busiest shopping centers in North Texas, the mall consists of 120 stores, including Coach, Tory Burch and Michael Kors. Across U.S. 75 is the Fairview Town Center and the Village at Allen with Dillard’s, JCPenney, Macy’s, Old Navy, Best Buy and Target.
