Allen Police Department - Video Showing Officer Who Shot And Killed Shooter

WARNING: Viewer discretion is advised.

Body camera footage of the Allen Premium Outlet mall mass shooting on May 6, 2023, was released after a grand jury no-billed (which in Texas means the use of deadly force to stop the suspect at the mall was justified) the officer who shot and killed the shooter. The shooter, 33-year-old Mauricio Garcia, who had been booted from the Army before completing basic training, stepped from a silver sedan, armed with an AR-15.

The Texas Rangers and the Collin County District Attorney’s Office presented the evidence to the grand jury. The grand jury's no-bill means that after reviewing the evidence, they ruled the use of force was justified under Texas law.

Eight people were killed and several others were injured when a gunman opened fire at the Allen Premium Outlets on Saturday, May 6.

The body camera footage released Wednesday showed the tragic events from the officer's perspective. The video was edited to blur out the faces of civilians and victims, and some language has been removed, Allen police said.

The video starts with the officer speaking to a mother and her two kids when more than 10 gunshots are heard off in the distance. The officer calls in the shots fired over the radio and another round of gunfire is heard. The officer grabs his weapon and tells shoppers to get down.
