"President Joe Biden has been briefed on the mass shooting in Allen, Texas, outlet mall," a White House representative told reporters.
At least nine people were killed in a mass shooting at an outlet mall in Allen, Texas, close to Dallas, according to CNN on Sunday. An evidently insane guy pulled out a pistol and began firing in all directions before being shot dead by police.
Authorities in Allen reacted to the gunfire at Allen Premium Outlets in the afternoon, forcing the patrons and employees to flee. They were informed that a gunman was actively engaged in a shooting spree inside the mall.
Officials said Saturday night that numerous more people were hurt in the Allen outlet mall shooting, and the patients were taken immediately to medical centres.
Police shot and killed the alleged lone shooter during a standoff.
Jonathan Boyd, the fire chief for Allen, Texas, reported that at least nine patients were sent to hospitals. Two of the people we carried have since passed away. Four are stable, while three are in critical surgery, according to Boyd.
Gunshots were heard in the mall at approximately 3:30 p.m., according to the Allen Police Department, when one of its officers was there to answer a different complaint.
Police said that the officer "engaged the suspect and neutralised the threat."
A medical facility in the Dallas region claims to have treated patients as young as 5 years old.
The gunman was seen in video footage that has been making the rounds online stepping out of a vehicle in the mall's parking lot before starting to fire on persons passing by on foot.
The shooter's identity was kept a secret. He was one of seven bodies found in the mall when additional cops arrived, their bodies strewn across a pavement.
According to Jonathan Boyd, the fire chief for Allen, "three are in critical surgery, and four are stable," while two more people passed away in the hospital.
Greg Abbott, the governor of Texas, described the massacre as a "unspeakable tragedy."
Joe Biden, the president, "has been briefed on the shooting," a White House representative said to reporters.
