9 killed in shooting at Texas mall in US, gunman shot dead by police

As many as eight people were killed and nine others were injured after a gunman went on a rampage at a busy mall north of Dallas on Saturday. The shooting, which is the latest gun violence to strike the country, sent hundreds of shoppers fleeing the mall in panic. The gunman, who authorities said they believe acted alone, was killed by a police officer after he began firing outside of the Allen Premium Outlets mall in Texas, the city's police chief Brian Harvey said at a press conference.
