I don’t know too much about this fellow, Steve Lookner, but he seems ok I guess. He is live streaming the scanners. Be aware if you listen, that you could hear anything, including triggering details.
Scanner is reporting unconfirmed possibility of two shooters, one neutralized. We live in terror in this country.
Fucking terror. Excuse me.
Update: my buddy’s daughter is shopping for her prom. No word on her situation. He is hysterical.

x #UPDATE: Collin County Sheriff Jim Skinner tells me the shooter at the outlet mall in Allen engaged law enforcement officers who were arriving on scene and is dead. The Sheriff also said the scene is now secure. @CBSNewsTexas — Jack Fink (@cbs11jack) May 6, 2023
I am in receipt of video of both what appears to be the shooting, and the aftermath. As far as the aftermath, if you have ever seen Saving Private Ryan, it is something like that. By this evening, millions of Americans will have been exposed to scenes they have only heard about but never seen.
This may be the breaking point.
The dashcam video shows a stocky person exiting an older sedan with an assault style rifle and opening fire on passersby on the sidewalk. The person then walks northwest towards a Fatburger.
One shooter is believed to be dead on scene. Scene believed to be secured.
The aftermath shows graphic scenes of the murders of multiple people, including children, including gore, with brain matter, blood, organ remnants, and the like.
