Eight people were killed and seven victims are hospitalized after a shooting at a Texas outlet mall, officials say. The gunman is also dead.
From CNN's Andy RoseThe congressman whose district includes Allen, Texas, says the mall shooting that killed eight victims could have been worse if not for the quick response to the gunfire.
“We will never know how many lives were saved by the swift actions of our first responders,” Representative Keith Self said in a news conference Saturday night. Allen Police Chief Brian Harvey said a member of his force who happened to already be on duty at the mall when the shooting broke out had killed the gunman. “We owe a debt of gratitude to the first responders that ran toward the gunfire and acted swiftly to neutralize the threat,” Self said.
Officials identified neither the shooter nor any of the victims Saturday night. Fire Chief Jonathan Boyd said three people remain in critical condition. “We're angry about those that would do evil in our community and in our backyard,” Collin County Judge Chris Hill said at the conference.
