that s about 25 miles north of dallas. the began coming around in 5:30 pm eastern time. there are reports of multiple casualties but nbc news has not confirmed a number. the city of allen issued a public safety alert warning residents to stay away from the allen premium outlets. we ve seen what appears to be hundreds of people walking out with their hands up, presumably to indicate to authorities outside they are not a threat. frank figliuzzi, i want to bring you in here and ask, as you watch this unfold, which questions remain for you? the question is, obviously, is this contained? it s the shooter identified? and either apprehended or deceased? there are signs that that could be the case here in in terms of the tone and pace we are seeing now. that has changed drastically over the co what is the toll? for the casualties? how many? who are they? and then everybody has the same question. why? why did this happen? and then, of course, alicia menendez, there is the larger
and nbc, as i know noted, is still working to confirm those numbers. right, right. exactly. and the senator said he got it from the head of the texas state troopers. so, we don t know how accurate is, the reporters will have to confirm it on the scene. the police have not made a public statement about it. so statements out of link here. but the shooter down that means wounded or dead. i think we might have a suicide. i think we might have a shot a large number of people and committed suicide, or responding officers shot him, or citizen may have shot him. but he s down. that means he s wounded. that doesn t mean he is in custody. i would more than likely he s dead because jim cavanaugh, i m sorry to interrupt you, i have some sound coming in from kxas, a reporter interviewing a woman who is looking for her daughter. that is one witness s description of what she saw. she was trying to get to her
daughter as all of this was happening. and she said she saw three victims involved with this. so, that is her description coming from a witness who giving us details of what she saw happening out there. so, again, this has been a shooting situation at the allan allen premium outlets. it happened just about 4:00 there in county at and still on the scene investigating what has taken place there and we are still waiting to hear from police and investigators about what has happened there, and injuries, and we were hoping to get an update from more condolences shared on social media, as earlier, we shared thoughts from governor abbott tonight, and representative keith self, former colleague county jim cavanaugh, again, we are just listening to kxas, hoping that they can shed some light on what is happening there. the fact that we are still waiting for an update from police this story began to break
