Hero officer who took down Texas mall gunman breaks silence
The police officer who has been hailed as a hero for taking down the gunman who killed eight people after opening fire at Allen Premium Outlets in Texas has released a statement saying he’s “doing well.” Three days after the tragic shooting, the officer’s attorney, Zach Horn, released a statement on behalf of the officer to local news outlet WFAA. “He’s doing well and would appreciate privacy and he continues to process this life-altering tragedy,” the statement from Mr Horn read. In the statement, Mr Horn said the officer, who wishes to remain unidentified, “sprinted toward the high power rifle fire as everyone else ran away” to subdue the gunman. “He’s a brave servant with a gentle heart that embodies the best the law enforcement profession has to offer,” Mr Horn added. The Independent has reached out to Mr Horn for comment. The gunman, who has been identified as 33-year-old Mauricio Garcia, was taken down by the officer after killing eight people, including three children, and injuring seven others. Garcia arrived at the Allen Premium Outlets on Saturday (6 May) armed with an AR-15 style rifle, ammunition and body armour. Authorities are unsure what the motive behind Garcia’s attack was though police found he may have had ties to a far-right organisation, white supremacy and possibly neo-Nazism. The shooting is one of over 200 to have occurred in the United States this year so far. More follows.
