   Authorities said at least eight people were killed and another seven   
   wounded when a gunman opened fire Saturday afternoon at Allen Premium   
   Outlets, a mall in Allen, Texas, a suburb in the Dallas–Fort Worth   
   metropolitan area. The suspect was shot and killed by an officer,   
   officials confirmed.   
      
   In a Saturday night news conference, Allen Fire Chief Jonathan Boyd told   
   reporters that six victims were pronounced dead at the scene, and another   
   nine were rushed by paramedics to local hospitals. Two of those who were   
   transported later died, Boyd said, and the suspect also died at the scene.   
      
   Three of the wounded victims were in "critical surgery," and four others   
   were stable, Boyd disclosed. No names were immediately released.   
      
   Allen Police Chief Brian Harvey reported that an officer was on an   
   unrelated call at 3:36 p.m. local time when he heard gunshots, responded,   
   and "neutralized" the suspect.   
      
   "He heard gunshots, located the gunshots, located the shooter, neutralized   
   the threat," Harvey said.   
      
   The shooter is believed to have acted alone, Harvey added. Authorities   
   declined to provide further details or take questions.   
      
   Janet St. James, a spokesperson for Medical City Healthcare, told CBS News   
   that its trauma facilities had received at least eight shooting victims   
   who ranged in age from 5 to 61 years old.   
      
   In an earlier briefing, Boyd acknowledged that "there may have been" other   
   potential wounded victims who were taken to hospitals "in private   
   vehicles" that officials were not immediately aware of.   
      
   Video posted to social media captured the sound of gunfire and panic among   
   people at the mall.   
      
   "We were in Johnson & Murphy, shopping for shoes, and we heard some pops   
   go off, like 10," one man told CBS Texas. "And I looked at the customer   
   next to me, and I go, like, 'Was that gunfire?' And we were all like, 'No,   
   we don't think so.' We ran to the front when we heard like 20 more pops go   
   off. And there was a guy right across, near like Francesca's, in a full   
   outfitted assault rifle, just shooting at people."   
      
   "We saw bodies going down," a woman said.   
      
   Agents with the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms were   
   on scene. Allen police asked anyone who may have cell phone video of the   
   shooting to contact the FBI.   
      
   A White House official confirmed to CBS News that President Biden had been   
   briefed on the shooting and was monitoring the situation.   
      
   Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said in a statement that he had "offered the full   
   support of the state of Texas to local officials to ensure all needed   
   assistance and resources are swiftly deployed, including DPS officers,   
   Texas Rangers, and investigative resources."   
      
   In Saturday's briefing, Republican Rep. Keith Self said that "we will   
   never know how many lives were saved by the swift actions of our first   
   responders. What we do know is that we owe a debt of gratitude to first   
   responders that ran towards the gunfire and acted swiftly to neutralize   
   the threat."
