Mall Shooting Texas
Also killed at the outdoor shopping center were three members of a Korean American family: a couple and one of their sons, who was 3. Another son was wounded and was still hospitalized, said Myoung-Joon Kim, head of mission at the Consulate of the Republic of Korea in Dallas. The parents were identified by the Texas Department of Public Safety as Kyu Song Cho, 37, and Cindy Cho, 35.
Andria Gaither, assistant manager at the mall's Tommy Hilfiger store, said she was devastated to learn that one of the dead was Christian LaCour, a 20-year-old security guard who previously worked at the clothing store and often stopped in to chat. Gaither herself had run for her life when shots rang out.
She was “always prepared to give her very best,” company founder Srinivas Chaluvadi said in an email.“She came to the United States with a dream to make a career, build a family, own a home and live forever in Dallas,” Chaluvadi said. “Whenever you would round the corner right by their house, you’d get like a hot dog, a treat and chips. And watch a movie,” Blue said.still trying to piece together
