WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - At least nine people, including a 5-year-old child, were injured in the shooting at a shopping mall in Allen, Texas; fatalities have also been reported, according to police.
The Allen Police Department said on Twitter on Saturday afternoon that a shooting had occurred at Allen Premium Outlets and that an active investigation was underway.

"At 3:36 p.m. [20:36 GMT] on Saturday, May 6, 2023, an Allen Police Department officer on an unrelated call heard gunshots at Allen Premium Outlets. The officer engaged the suspect and neutralized the threat. He then called for emergency personnel," the Allen Police Department said in a statement on Twitter late on Saturday night.
Allen Police Chief Brian Harvey told reporters on Saturday, as cited by Fox News, that there were fatalities, but did not say how many.
