According to the BNO news portal, aerial images taken by a press helicopter show the bodies of at least four people, lying on the ground.
Allen police said an active investigation is underway and asked citizens to avoid approaching the area, an establishment called Allen Premium Outlets.
It did not report, however, whether the alleged perpetrator or perpetrators of the shooting was killed, detained, or if he is still active.
