Dispatchers received dozens of calls from the mall
With dozens of 911 calls received from inside and outside the Texas mall, the panicked shoppers sought help after Mauricio Garcia carried out a killing spree using an automatic assault rifle and fatally shot eight people. Seven others were injured in the shooting.
"Please, please send somebody to H&M right now, please. I don’t know what’s going on … we’re in the dressing room," a sobbing caller told the police dispatch. The audio captured the terror of the situation where some of the callers feared they were being held "hostage."
"We got a victim. I think it's in his chest. I left him there because I wasn't sure if he was the shooter," a female caller who fled for her safety told a responder. Another caller told dispatchers they saw the gunman in the Cosmetic Company and added that he "just shot a security guard."
'My mom just got shot. My mom's collapsed'
One of the callers who dialed 911 begged the dispatcher saying, "Please get there," as she revealed, "My mom just got shot. My mom’s collapsed, my mom’s collapsed. Just outside the watch station." The responder then asked her to "stop the bleeding" and "get her to safety."
"I got three," said another caller who wept and told dispatchers about the victims. The suspect who arrived at the Allen Premium Outlets at 3.36 pm was fatally shot just minutes after he opened fire killing multiple people.
