Growing Memorial Placed outside Allen Outlet Mall

ALLEN (WBAP/KLIF) – A memorial is growing on the edge of Allen Premium Outlets in Allen following Saturday’s mass shooting that left 9 people, including the shooter dead.

According to Police, the gunman opened fire just after 3:30 Saturday afternoon. He’s been identified as 33-year-old Mauricio Garcia of Dallas.

The FBI searched what’s believed to be Garcia’s parents’ house and a motel he may have been staying at. He is being linked to racially motivated violent rhetoric including neo-Nazi material on social media but a motive is still being investigated. President Biden said the shooter used an A-R-15 style rifle.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott attended a Sunday vigil in Allen.

North Texans visited the memorial late Sunday to pay tribute to the lives lost.
