Video posted to social media captured the sound and panic at the mall. A man inside the Famous Footwear store told CBS News Texas that shoppers were in distress and crying while under lockdown.
Allen Police Chief Brian Harvey said at 3:36 p.m. May 6, an officer was on an unrelated call at the outlet mall when he heard.
When he followed the man, Chief Harvey said the officer “saw” then “neutralized” the suspect before calling for ambulances.
Chief Harvey said multiple agencies helped evacuate the open-air mall and have been helping work the scene.
The Allen Department reported they transported nine victims to nearby trauma facilities, but that there could be more victims who were taken by private vehicles.
