Texas mall shooting suspect’s home in Dallas searched by Police and FBI

Police and FBI agents early Sunday searched the home of the suspected Texas mall shooter —  who was in his 30s and lived with his parents, according to a report.

Hours after a gunman killed eight people and wounded seven others before he was shot and killed by police at a mall in Allen, Tex., authorities descended on a residence in Dallas, where multiple sources told WFAA the suspect stayed with his folks.

Multiple FBI agents and officers from the Dallas Police Department were inside the home Saturday night talking with the family, who have requested a translator.

Dallas is roughly 30 miles south of the Allen Premium Outlets, where the shooting occurred.

Neighbors told WFAA that the man was in his 30s and had lived there for as long as they could remember.

They said he was very quiet, often wore some kind of security uniform, although he had never been seen with a weapon.

His gray Dodge Charger was always parked in front of the house, neighbors said, although he and the car had notably been absent in recent weeks.

Neighbors did not recall any police activity or problems at the residence.

The officials were talking to the family through a translator, the report said.

Around 3:36 p.m. Saturday afternoon, the shooter parked outside of the mall in a gray car that appeared to be a Charger and opened fire, according to police and dashcam footage from a vehicle in the parking lot.

An Allen police officer who was at the mall responding to an unrelated call heard the gunshots and ran towards the sound.

He confronted the gunman and “neutralized the threat,” Allen Police Chief Brian Harvey told reporters at a press briefing. 

Graphic video circulating on social media shows the body of a man shot in the incident who is purported to be the slain shooter.

The man is seen in heavy military tactical gear in a pool of his own blood on the sidewalk outside of a Fatburger location in the mall.

He appeared to have a tattoo on his left hand, the video shows.

Multiple marked vehicles from the Allen Police Department can be seen parked nearby in the background.

Behind the man, who is dressed in all black, an assault rifle can be seen lying on the ground, the video shows.

Investigators believe that the gunman acted alone, Harvey said.

His motive remains unknown at this time.
