Authorities Report ‘Some’ Victims In Shooting At Texas Outlet Mall

Law enforcement responded to reports of an active shooting at Allen Premium Outlets in Texas Saturday afternoon and have confirmed there are “some” victims, but their status remains unknown.

The Collin County Sheriff’s Office has confirmed there was a shooting at the outlet mall, Fox 4 reported. The Allen Police Department also released a statement saying that officers were on the scene and investigating, telling people to stay away from the area.

The Collin County sheriff said that the shooter was dead at the scene and that there were multiple victims, including children, according to WFAA. Texas DPS and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives joined local authorities on the scene.

Live aerial footage from Fox 4 showed numerous law enforcement officials going into the stores as a line of shoppers walked away from the mall. The footage also appeared to show multiple bodies outside an H&M store covered by white sheets.

Allen Premium Outlets is around 25 miles north of Dallas and is home to over 120 outlet stores.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott issued a statement following the shooting, saying that he has been in contact with the Allen mayor and Texas DPS director.

“Our hearts are with the people of Allen, Texas tonight during this unspeakable tragedy,” Abbott said. “I have been in contact with Mayor Fulk and DPS Director McCraw as well as other state and local leaders and offered the full support of the State of Texas to local officials to ensure all needed assistance and resources are swiftly deployed, including DPS officers, Texas Rangers, and investigative resources.”

Eric Adams Sending Illegal Immigrants To Suburbs After Biden Admin Snubs NYC On Funding To Deal With Crisis

Some of the thousands of illegal immigrants in New York City will be heading to the suburbs after the city received less than a tenth of the federal funds it requested from the Biden administration to handle the crisis.

New York City applied for $350 million from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to house and care for thousands of illegal immigrants seeking asylum in the U.S. On Friday, the Biden administration informed the Big Apple that it would send the city $30 million, POLITICO reported.

“Let us be very clear: This is both disappointing and woefully insufficient for a city that has carried the cost of sheltering, feeding, and supporting more than 60,000 asylum-seekers in the last year,” Mayor Eric Adam’s spokesperson Fabien Levy said in a statement. “New Yorkers have stepped up tremendously throughout this crisis and we look forward to working closely with our congressional delegation to remedy this serious mistake.”

On the same day as Biden’s snub, Adams announced that his administration will begin sending illegal immigrants out of New York City to ease the burden the influx of illegal immigrants has placed on the city. Two hotels in Orangeburg and Orange Lake — which are located in Rockland County, New York — will temporarily house 300 single adult males.

Rockland County Supervisor Teresa Kenny said in a Facebook post that Adams called “to notify me of plans to house migrants at a hotel in Orangetown,” according to Fox News.

“I agree that this calls for a Federal, not a local solution … to send these people to a location that is not equipped to meet their needs, is a betrayal of that often-expressed desire by NYC to be a sanctuary for them,” Kenny added.

Adams called out the Biden administration last month, saying that the president’s border policies have turned New York City into a disaster. New York City will spend $4.2 billion to house and care for illegal immigrants by the middle of 2024.

“The city is being destroyed by the migrant crisis,” Adams said.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) earmarked $322 million Friday for communities along the southern border facing the brunt of the border crisis, such as El Paso, Texas, according to POLITICO. DHS said that it will send a second round of funds totaling $360 million to cities beyond the border, which will likely include New York City.

“This first round of funding was focused primarily on the needs of border communities due to the urgencies they are confronting,” the department said in a statement. “Several interior cities also received funding. The City of New York received the most of any interior city by a significant margin given its challenges.”

Illegal immigrants are expected to flood into the U.S. after Title 42, the Trump-era public health order keeping illegal immigrants in Mexico as they wait for asylum claims, ends on May 11.

Through the first six months of fiscal year 2023, which began in October, there have been more than 1.2 million border encounters, according to Customs and Border Protection data. That doesn’t include illegal immigrants who crossed and escaped detection.

There are at least 34,800 illegal immigrants currently being housed in shelters throughout New York City, according to the latest data from City Hall, the Post reported. Last year, Governor Greg Abbott (R-TX) began sending buses of illegal immigrants to leftist “sanctuary cities” across the U.S., including New York.
