After the mall shooting, residents of the Dallas suburb are experiencing familiar rituals: mourning, anger and despair.
Allen community members pray at Cottonwood Creek Church during a vigil on May 7, 2023, to mourn the lives of eight killed during a shooting at the local outlet mall a day earlier. Hundreds paid their respects, including Gov. Greg Abbott, Lt. Gov Dan Patrick, Attorney General Ken Paxton and state Rep. Jeff Leach, R-Plano., The Texas Tribune’s daily newsletter that keeps readers up to speed on the most essential Texas news.
The day after a gunman armed with an AR-15-style rifle killed eight people and wounded at least seven others at Allen Premium Outlets, residents of Allen — home to nearly 107,000 people — found themselves grappling with the horror that a uniquely American phenomenon had now visited their backyard. “He was such a beautiful soul, 20 years old with goals for his future,” Sandra Montgomery, LaCour’s grandmother, wrote on Facebook. “I was so proud of him and so glad I got to see him 2 weeks ago.”
“You could hear the shots: bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam,” Bennett said. “I thought, ‘Will they ever stop?’” Ernesto Garcia, a 41-year-old Allen resident who’s lived here for 10 years, received a text from his wife around 3:30 p.m. Saturday telling him that she and her aunt were locked inside the Kay Jewelers store as the shooting started.
