    Yet again! Are people becoming numb to the violence? I hope the perpetrator is stopped:

    They are numb because the argument over the solution is always the same.

    And it happens again, - in Texas (again). This shooter has not been caught yet, but the chances are that its another psycho killing innocent shoppers at a mall.

    Texas authorities respond to Allen Premium Outlets shooting near Dallas
    https://www.foxnews.com/us/texas-authorities-respond-reported-outlet-mall-shooting
    Texas officials responded to reports of an "active shooting situation" at Allen Premium Outlets on Saturday afternoon.

    Collin County Sheriff's Office confirmed to Fox News Digital that Allen Police Department officers are on the scene. The office told FOX 4 Dallas that there are "some" victims. Local outlet WFAA-TV reported the victims included children, though Fox News has not independently confirmed that.

    The ATF Dallas Field Division said on Twitter that it was an "active shooting situation" as of 4:30 p.m. CT.

    Guns in the news. Again.

    More people shot and/or killed. Again.

    Each human life occurs once. Only once. When cut short, there is no going back; no means to redress the loss.

    Guns in the news.

    Again.

    Stay safe 'n well 'n un-shot.

    I seriously wouldn't put it past our government to be behind recent shootings. It's not like they have ever been adverse to sacrificing a few lives to advance their agenda.

    Can't understand why these losers/killers keep using guns when they could just use, as some on the gun control board like to say, a "high performance car", "dogs", or even a pair of nunchucks to commit these mass killings???

    A good guy, a cop, with a gun took the shooter out.
    It could have been a lot worse if it were not for him.
    Of course, the gun-banning brigade doesn't want to hear this.
    :rolleyes:

    Officer "neutralized" gunman in outlet mall shooting, police chief says


    The gunman at an outlet mall in Allen, Texas, was taken down by an officer with the city's police department, Allen Police Chief Brian Harvey said at a news conference.

    “One of our officers was on an unrelated call at the outlet mall,” Harvey said. “He heard gunshots, went to the gunshots, engaged the suspect, and neutralized the suspect.”
    The chief said they do not believe there was a second person involved in the shooting.

    “We believe he acted alone, and we don't believe that there's another threat at this time,” Harvey said.

    By the way, with all those gun owners and guns in circulation in texas, shouldn't it be the safest state in the country?

    I know you're not talking. You're the one who claims that because Al Jazeera says so that all of the defensive shootings in the USA are fabricated by the NRA. The hospitals the courts the correctional systems, the media from the local to the national level.... They're all in on the great big conspiracy.

    Our government has done some pretty damn shady things in the past and I do not trust them.

    Notice I said it's a possibility not that it's certainly what's going on

    The shooter, dressed in black garb, is a heavy set Hispanic male.
    Reportedly, he got out of his car and started shooting at people in front of an H&M store.

    We've got an open border and criminals coming in from blue states as well. If we could rid the state of them, then yes, hands down and not even close.

    Reportedly, but not verified, the shooter is an Hispanic male. He was heavily armed. The cop shot him in the head.

    That's the price of living in a free society, whether you like it or not. Just like you have to put up with drunks, druggies, and reckless drivers on the highways every single day...

    I just saw a picture that is reported to be the shooter on another site. I suspect, assuming the picture is legit, that this won't be in the news a whole lot longer.

    Unless they attempt to make him a WHITE-Hispanic, I concur.

    According to statistics I can find, the percentage of gun owners has increased about 5% in the last 10 years. Mass shootings in that time frame appears to have increased around 300%. It's not the guns that are causing this increase. There is something else going on and unless we focus on whatever that something else is all we're going to accomplish is building a bigger, more oppressive police state.
