Nine people died and seven others were injured on Saturday after a gunman opened fire at an outdoor mall north of Dallas, Texas, officials said.

The alleged gunman, who died after a confrontation with police, was among the seven people who were killed at the Allen Premium Outlets, the scene of the shooting, Allen Police Department officials said. Nine additional people were transferred to hospitals, where two later died, officials said. The hospitalized victims ages range from 5 to 61 years old, authorities said.

Multiple law enforcement agencies responded at about 3:30 p.m. on Saturday to the outlets in the Dallas suburb, where an active shooter incident had been reported.

"This is a tragedy. People will be looking for answers," Allen Police Chief Brian Harvey said during a press briefing. "We're sorry that those families are experiencing that loss."

An officer who was at the outlet mall on an unrelated call responded to the shooting around 3:36 p.m., Harvey said.

"He heard gunshots, went to the gunshots engaged the suspect and neutralized the suspect," Harvey said.

The police chief said they believed the male shooter acted alone.

"We don't believe that there's another threat at this time," Harvey said.

The FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives responded to the scene, according to spokespeople for the agencies. Police set up reunification areas nearby.

President Joe Biden has been briefed on the shooting, according to a White House official.

Police have asked residents to avoid the area amid the investigation.

Aerial footage from the scene showed shoppers being evacuated from the stores, many with their arms raised in the air.

A woman was shopping when she says the shooting began and described how people began to flee for safety.

Elaine Penicaro said in an interview that she was finishing up her shopping when she heard "popping" noises and began to realize how dire the situation was.

"We saw sparks flying like it was right in front of us. So we just ran into the Converse store. They locked the door. We all hunkered down in the back. And that's where we stayed," she said.

Penicaro said she heard the police arrive within five to 10 minutes.

The shooter was killed at the scene, police said.

Allen Police Department Chief Brian Harvey said at a press briefing that an officer was at Allen Premium Outlets on an unrelated call when he heard gunshots and located the shooter who was then "neutralized."

"We are asking for the public's help if you are a witness," Harvey said.

Another day in America, sadly so many states in US are not ready to address this problem especially the republican controlled states, president Biden has tried his best, he can't do it alone, he's even opposed by the republicans in the Congress

I don't know why they love guns more than themselves.

Racism and gun violence is the reason I fear USA, though I admire them for being the most powerful and advanced nation on earth.

See how that little girl's head was emptied!
Why are some people this heartless and wicked?

All the killed would struggle to wake up, struggle to open their eyes, the intense desperation to move any part of their body!
The intense feeling of wishing someone would shake them rigorously so that they can wake up!
That extreme feeling of fear of, "What's happening? Why can't I move my body?
Why can't I wake up?

I know these feelings… because I've experienced it thrice!

Just stop killing people because you don't know what you're putting them through!!!

This is not news.

It is normal in USA.

If America refuses to kill 2nd amendment, 2nd amendment will continue to kill them.

More than 350 million guns in circulation in USA. Disaster is inevitable.

And the feelings are not what anyone should experience. But I won't go into details please.

You didn't ask what happened those three times.
But it's fine because I won't want to talk about it either.

I know someone who died of electrocution right in my presence, but GOD raised her back to life. She has her details to give.
Even though I was still very young then, I knew what happened.
Experience is indeed a teacher.

This is becoming like an everyday news.
.
You can't beat a child, and expect him not to cry.

You can't flood everywhere with guns, relax gun acquisition and ownership laws, and expect to have peaceful neighbourhoods.

You can't plant maize and expect to harvest cocoyam.

Same way you can't have Tinubu as a president, and Godswill Akpabio as senate president, and expect checks and balances.

Naaaahhhhhh

Going to America these days is not unlike contemplating suicide! Russia, China, Iran and North Korea needn't fret about how to overcome the US dominance in world affairs, because by the time the youths of America finish killing everyone there will be no foe to contend with.
