BREAKING UPDATE: 'Fatalities' confirmed in mall shooting near Dallas, police say; at least 9 victims transported to hospital
Allen Fire Chief Jonathan Boyd said 9 victims were transported to area medical facilities, but he didn't specify the number of injured or dead because authorities don't have an accurate count. At a press conference Saturday evening, police said they would provide another update later in the evening.
"The shooter is dead and I am told by law enforcement that there was only one shooter, they have now confirmed that," the Republican representative said. "There are now multiple victims but I am going to leave that to law enforcement to announce. The scene is now secure but it's fluid." Police believe they have identified the vehicle of the deceased suspect, which is being examined by the bomb squad as a precaution, the source says.
Jaynal Pervez told CNN affiliate KTVT that he arrived at the mall after his daughter, who was inside, called to inform him about a shooting.
