A Texas Mass Shooting
We extend our deepest condolences and prayers for the victims of the horrific mass shooting Saturday at the Allen Premium Outlet Mall north of Dallas in Allen, Texas. The shooter got out of his car in black body armor and began firing an AR-15-like rifle in the parking lot. Eight people are confirmed dead and several others injured. The victims reportedly include children, but most names have not been released at this time, although we know that 20-year-old mall security guard Christian LaCour was among the fatalities. This tragedy hits particularly close to home for us since my writers live in the DFW area and have shopped at that mall, and one used to work in Allen and knows people who live there.

As is our policy, I do not name people who seek fame by killing others, so I won’t mention the shooter’s name. That’s about all we know about him, other than he was discharged from the Army due to mental health concerns. He reportedly worked as a security guard. There’s an investigation underway to see if he was a member of a right-wing, neo-Nazi group, which some liberal politicians and media figures quickly leaped on, even before the video suggesting it was verified.
They are clearly hoping for this narrative, since it would make the tragedy easier to exploit politically than recent shootings by leftwing radicals. But if he was a white supremacist, he was an unusual one, since he has a Hispanic name and authorities reportedly needed a translator to talk to his parents. I will give credit to the New York Times for reporting that his motives “remain a mystery.” That didn’t stop President Biden from immediately using the shooting as a reason to call for Congress to pass another “assault weapon” ban.
Personally, I am going to wait until we know more and not leap to conclusions or try to stand on bodies to make political points. The one name I wish I could trumpet to the Heavens, but he’s yet to be identified, is the heroic police officer who was at the mall on an unrelated call when he heard all the gunfire. Frantically calling for backup, he ran toward the sound of the gunshots, engaged the shooter, and as the Allen Police Chief put it, “neutralized the suspect” before any backup arrived.

Now, that is how a real police officer does his duty. As terrible as this tragedy was, it could have been far, far worse if not for a good guy with a gun and guts being on the scene.
Sadly Related: Derek Hunter at Townhall.com writes about the selective outrage from the left in which the deaths of certain people are treated as more or less important depending on whether they can be exploited politically:
Left-wing leaders are stirring up the mob
Even as Democrat demagogues like AOC and Ayanna Pressley stir up mobs by declaring the death of the homeless New York black man Jordan Neely to be “murder” and a “lynching”…and as those mobs are taking the bait…
…we are learning more that undercuts their rush to judgement. For instance, someone found a 2016 video of Neely (who has been benignly described not as someone with over 40 arrests who was threatening subway passengers but as a “Michael Jackson impersonator”) losing his temper at someone who made fun of him in the street and attacking the man while screaming gay and racial slurs.
Lawyers for ex-Marine Daniel Penny, who might face charges for Neely’s death, released a strong statement denying that he intended to kill Neely and could not have foreseen his death.
And a full video of the subway incident undermines the leftist narrative, showing that Penny released Neely from the submission hold and put him in recovery position so he could breathe, and that other passengers thanked him for ending the threat to their safety.
In fact, Breitbart reports that as more is becoming known about this incident, and people are starting to question why a mentally ill person who’d been arrested over 40 times was still walking around free to threaten people on the subway, some Democrats are quietly backing away from trying to politicize his death for fear it will shine a light on their policies and backfire.
