A gunman killed at least eight people at a mall outside Dallas, Texas, before being fatally shot by police at the scene. Witnesses describe seeing the shooter and walking past bodies, including children. Video footage from outside the shopping centre in the city of Allen shows the moments of panic as gunshots were heard inside the building. Mass shootings have become commonplace in the US, with at least 198 so far in 2023, the most at this point in the year since at least 2016, according to the Gun Violence Archive. The nonprofit group defines a mass shooting as any in which four or more people are wounded or killed
