A gunman rampaged through an outlet mall in a Dallas suburb on Saturday—killing eight people and wounding seven others before being shot dead by police.
A photo of the suspect—who was not immediately identified—showed him clad in black from head to toe, wearing body armor, and carrying multiple ammunition clips.
There was a search for a second gunman, according to a source, but police now say they believe the shooter acted alone. Police said an Allen officer killed the shooter.
Video from above the scene showed hundreds of shoppers exiting the area, many holding their hands up. The aerial footage appeared to show at least three bodies covered by sheets outside the mall.
Allen Police Chief Brian Harvey described how the shooter was killed. "One of our officers was on an unrelated call at the outlet mall," said Harvey. "He heard gunshots, went to the gunshots, engaged the suspect, and neutralized the suspect."
Witnesses told CNN that they saw the gunman who was dressed all in black, and was wearing tactical gear.
In a photo obtained by CNN, the body of what appears to be the gunman is seen on the ground outside a restaurant location at the mall. The gunman, with an AR-15 style weapon nearby, appears to be wearing body armor with several extra magazines attached to chest gear.
Graphic video shared online showed victims, including children, motionless on the floor of the mall, which is about 25 miles from Dallas.
Abu Akther, who was with his wife and 1-year-old child at the shopping center, described “mayhem and panic” as people scrambled to hide. He told Fox 4 DFW he tried to help a woman who was shot in the side, ushering her into a store for shelter.
