Shooting in Texas mall is the second-deadliest so far this year (msn.com)
The mass killing Saturday at an outlet mall in the Dallas suburb of Allen, Tex., that left at least eight dead was the second-deadliest in the United States in 2023 — a year on pace to set a modern record.
So this was pretty scary. Last night was the senior prom here and there were probably a lot of kids planning to have supper either in or near that mall area. This outlet mall is very near the place we have to go to attend graduation at the end of the month. We had already been informed that we can't carry a purse unless it's clear and no other bags are allowed in the venue. You can't bring in flowers or gifts. Allen is about 12 miles northwest of where we live. Of course, Gov. Abbott is staunchly against doing anything with gun laws and has taken it upon himself to declare that this is a mental health issue...though we don't have enough info yet to make that determination.
