Newly released footage shows heroic officer go from telling kids to wear their seatbelts to running towards gunfire and putting down mass mall shooter: 'I'm moving as fast as I can'



A 33-year-old gunman murdered eight people, including three children, and injured 10 others May 6 at the Allen Premium Outlets mall in Texas. The killer would likely have claimed more innocent lives had an Allen Police officer not run without hesitation toward the crackle of gunfire and "neutralized" the threat.

The Allen Police Department released the officer's body-worn camera footage Wednesday following a grand jury's determination that his use of force was justified under Texas law.

"This video shows how quickly a routine interaction with the public turned into a life-and-death situation," Allen Police Chief Brian Harvey said in a statement. "The officer recognized the danger, ran toward the gunfire and neutralized the threat — and for his actions, the Allen community is forever grateful."

At the beginning of the video, the unnamed officer can be seen addressing two little children in the mall parking lot, instructing them to follow their mother's guidance.

"Make sure y'all be good, okay?" says the officer. "And make sure you wear your seatbelts when Mommy's driving, okay?"

A little girl can be heard answering in the affirmative, but her brother is interrupted when a several gunshots ring out in quick succession. The mother quickly grabs her children by their hands and pulls them close.

The officer doesn't miss a beat.

"I think we got shots fired at the outlet mall," he says over his radio. "People running."

He reaches into his police cruiser, grabs his rifle, then orders passersby to safety: "Go, go, go! Keep moving!"

Running full-tilt through the parking lot to the far side of the mall, the officer closes in on the sound of screaming and additional gunshots.

Although he sounds slightly winded, he maintains his advance, noting over the radio, "I'm on foot. I need everybody I got. ... A real mass shooter. ... I'm moving as fast as I can."

"I'm by Tommy Hilfiger. I don't know where he's at," says the officer, scanning the arcade for the shooter.

Another barrage alerts the officer to the shooter's whereabouts. The officer rushes forward, spots the shooter, and lights him up with around 14 well-placed shots.

"I got him down," the officer announces, passing an abandoned baby carriage.

As fellow officers approach, the officer reiterates, "Damn, bro. Got 'em, bro," instructing the mass shooter's bullet-riddled corpse to "stay the f*** down."

The shooter had three weapons on his person and another five in his vehicle, reported CNN.

The Texas Rangers and the Collin County District Attorney's office presented this footage and other evidence to a grand jury concerning the officer's use of force on Monday. The officer was cleared of any wrongdoing.

Craig Miller, a retired Dallas ISD police chief, told KDFW-TV, "His actions were unbelievable, the way that he was able to respond. ... He's doing exactly what he's trained. He's asking for backup. Immediately he gets on dispatch, tells him what he's got, but at the same time, he's running to the issue, running to this incident."

The victims of the mass shooting were: James Cho, 3; Sofia Mendoza, 8; Daniel Mendoza, 11; Christian LaCour, 20; Aishwarya Thatikonda, 27; Elio Cumana-Rivas, 32; Cindy Cho, 35; and Kyu Song Cho, 37.

Elon Musk hits back at CNBC reporter over claims that Hispanic Texas mall shooter was a 'white supremacist': 'Bull****'



CNBC reporter David Faber confronted Elon Musk in a recent interview over remarks the tech magnate made on Twitter. After parsing Musk's past criticisms of billionaire leftist George Soros, Faber zeroed in on a tweet concerning the Allen, Texas, mall shooter.

Musk rebutted the intimation that he had amplified unhinged conspiratorial thinking and turned the tables, calling into question Faber's understanding of the atrocious event and its perpetrator.

"You do some tweets that seem to be or at least give support to some who would call others 'conspiracy theorists,'" Faber said early in the interview.

Musk replied, "Some of these conspiracy theories have turned out to be true," citing the Hunter Biden laptop story as a prime example.

Ostensibly looking to trip Musk up, Faber referenced a tweet Musk wrote on May 9 pertaining to the Allen, Texas, mall shooting and the allegations circulated in the liberal media that the Hispanic shooter was a "white supremacist."

"When you link to somebody who's talking about the guy who killed children in a mall in Allen, Texas," said Faber. "You say something like it might be a bad psy-op. Not quite sure what you meant."

Musk's controversial tweet was in reply to a meme posted by Josie Glabach, known as the Redheaded libertarian on Twitter.

The meme, titled, "This sounds like a psyop," suggested that mental gymnastics were required to arrive at the conclusion the shooter was a white supremacist.

The meme was captioned, "A employee of state funded media told us a Jewish lady and a Korean guy radicalized a Mexican neo-nazi gang member ... According to a recent diary that appeared on a Russian social media site ... That happened to have receipts of the gun used and pictures of nazis pulled of[f] Reddit and the internet ... Even though he doesn't speak Russian."

Musk responded, "Didn't the story come from @bellingcat, which literally specializes in psychological operations? I don't want to hurt their feelings, but this is either the weirdest story ever or a very bad psyop!"

\u201c@TRHLofficial Didn\u2019t the story come from @bellingcat, which literally specializes in psychological operations?\n\nI don\u2019t want to hurt their feelings, but this is either the weirdest story ever or a very bad psyop!\u201d

Explaining his tweet to Faber, Musk said, "In that particular case ... I think it was incorrectly described to be a 'white supremacist,' actually."

Musk noted that the evidence for the white supremacist claim "was some obscure Russian website that no one's ever heard of, that had no followers, and the company that found this is Bellingcat."

"Do you know what Bellingcat is? Psy-ops," said Musk.

The Twitter CEO provided Faber with a summary of his views on the matter, "I'm saying I thought that ascribing it to 'white supremacy' was bull****. And that the information for that came from an obscure Russian website and was somehow magically found by Bellingcat, which is a company that does psy-ops."

Bellingcat is purportedly an open-source intelligence outlet based in the Netherlands, founded in 2014. It has received funds from various sources, including the European Commission, Soros' Open Society Foundations, and the American government's National Endowment for Democracy.

The May 9 article on the Bellingcat website, penned by Aric Toler, detailed posts made on the Odnoklassniki account allegedly belonging to the now-deceased 33-year-old Hispanic gunman, noting it "espoused far-right viewpoints and contained pictures of Garcia showing off at least two Nazi tattoos."

Bellingcat reported that one month before the May 6 shooting, a post detailing a selection of tattoos, including a swastika and an SS symbol, appeared on the page. The post indicates that the shooter was "culturally appropriating" symbols such as the black panther and the swastika for his own purposes.

The account was also reportedly laden with identifying documents, such as a speeding ticket with the shooter's name and date of birth both conveniently visible.

While Musk claimed Bellingcat found the account, Toler noted that the Odnoklassniki page was first mentioned in a May 8 New York Times report and admitted that it was "unclear how the investigators cited in the article learned about this account."

Bellingcat creative director Eliot Higgins did not take well the suggestion that his outfit was in the business of spreading disinformation, tweeting early Wednesday, "If @elonmusk thinks Bellingcat is a psy-op than its a reflection of the absolute garbage he consumes from the likes of Aaron Mate. As a 'tech guy' I'm sure he's familiar with the phrase 'Garbage in, garbage out'. That's how his brain works."

In response to Faber's suggestion that there was no proof the shooter was not a white supremacist, Musk concluded, "I would say there is no proof that he is."

Hank Sibley, the regional director of the Texas Department of Public Safety, indicated that the evidence points to him having been a Hispanic Nazi.

"We do know that he had Neo-Nazi ideation," said Sibley. "He had patches, he had tattoos, even his signature verified that. That’s one thing we do know. We’re trying to get into his computer and on social media and find out whether he had anything that he publicized."

Leftists Explain Tragedy With Fake Narratives Because Their Idols Offer No Explanation Or Remedy For Evil

There is but one remedy for the kind of evil that murders men, women, and children and its name isn’t gun control. It’s Jesus.

Father rushed to Allen Outlets to save son from mass shooting, but nothing would prepare him for what he experienced: 'Just unfathomable to see carnage'



A frantic father rushed to the Allen Premium Outlets on Saturday after his son informed him there was a shooting at the mall in Texas. However, nothing would prepare the concerned dad for what he would encounter next.

Steven Spainhouer – a former police officer and former Army officer – received a call from his son on Saturday. His son – who works at the H&M store at the Allen Premium Outlets – told Spainhouer that there was an active shooting situation. He said that he couldn't contact 911 because the phone lines were busy.

Spainhouer instructed his son to shelter in place and to not open the door.

Spainhouer then raced to the outlet mall, which took him approximately six minutes. He was surprised to see that no police or EMTs were at the site of the shooting.

Spainhouer told KHOU, "I never imagined in 100 years I would be thrust into the position of being the first first responder on the site to take care of people."

"I found seven people shot in front of the store," Spainhouer told MSNBC. He called 911 and told them, "We have a mass casualty incident."

"The first girl I walked up to was crouched down covering her head in the bushes, so I felt for a pulse, pulled her head to the side and she had no face," he explained.

Speaking about the third victim he attempted to help, "I started chest compressions on him, he spit up blood, and then he just looked at me and expired in front of me."

"The others were too far gone," he said.

Spainhouer found a child who survived the mass shooting by being protected by his deceased mother.

He said, "So when I rolled the mother over, he came out, and I asked him, 'Are you OK?'"

The boy said, "My mom is hurt, my mom is hurt."

"So rather than traumatize him anymore, I put him around the corner, sat him down," Spainhouer recalled. "He was covered from head to toe, like somebody poured blood on him."

"No one can see what they saw today and not be affected by it. It's not a situation that I would wish upon anybody. It's just unfathomable to see the carnage," he said.

"It's tough when you see a family that's out shopping, having fun, then get wiped off the face of the Earth because somebody with a gun has some other type of issue," Spainhouer declared.

Eight people were shot and killed at the Allen Premium Outlets, located about 25 miles north of Dallas. There are at least seven others injured during the mass shooting.

Authorities have yet to release the name of the shooter.

WFAA reported that the suspect is in his 30s and lived with his parents in Dallas.

The outlet noted that the FBI questioned the family at their Dallas home, adding that investigators "have also asked for a translator."

Horowitz: What will Gov. Abbott do with vax mandate in the Texas National Guard?



These were supposed to be part-time citizen soldiers, but so many of them have served multiple tours of duty in the Middle East. More recently, nearly all of them are at the Texas-Mexico border attempting to do the job the federal government won’t do. Now that same federal government is threatening to terminate thousands of Texas guardsmen if they fail to get a shot that quite literally is outdated, and numerous data points and testimony from military doctors raise concerns about adverse reactions. Will Texas Gov. Greg Abbott stand up for his Guard? What about other GOP governors?

The Biden administration officials know that with mounting opposition to COVID mandates, they must let some of the pressure out of the balloon and ease some of the restrictions affecting the average family. But they also understand that the military is a minority of the minority and that they can get away with illogical and illegal mandates on it for far longer. At present, it appears that no number of facts on the ground will change the minds in the Pentagon in terminating their July 1 deadline on all Army soldiers, including state guardsmen, to receive the experimental shots. While the damage has already been done in most circles of the active-duty military, there are thousands of Texas guardsmen who have not gotten the shots and are now starring down the barrel of losing their careers and all retirement benefits.

Here are the most recent vaccination numbers released by the Texas Military Department obtained by the Blaze:

As you can see, just 47% of the Texas Army National Guard are fully vaccinated, and 45% — accounting for 8,750 troops – have not begun the shots. At the border, 48% of the soldiers, nearly 3,000 of them, are unvaccinated, according to my source. And from speaking to two sources on the ground in the Texas Guard, it appears that most of them will refuse to get the shots. Will Gregg Abbott allow them to be terminated? Will Republicans in the U.S. Senate vote for the upcoming budget bill that continues to fund the DOD mandate?

The obvious question everyone should be asking is why are the GOP governors not uniting at a meeting and declaring the DOD mandate null and void? Remember, while governors have no control over the active-duty military, they do control the chain of command for disciplinary actions in their respective guards, absent a “Title 10” order from the president. At a minimum, each governor should direct the adjunct general of the Guard to announce that the state plans to fight the mandates and will dismiss any officer who encourages, much less coerces, soldiers to get the shots. That is fully within the legal authority of a governor.

Obviously, the Biden administration could use purse strings to gain leverage by threatening to cut off funding for the soldiers, but it’s hard for Biden to stand before America with waning popularity both for himself and the mandates and threaten to deny pay to the guardsmen in half the states. But that would require Republican governors to get on the playing field and pick the fight first.

The problem is that the Texas Military Department officials in charge of health issues in the Guard are downright on the same side as Biden, even though they work for Greg Abbott, who issued an order banning the mandate! In December, the Office of the Joint Surgeon of the Texas Military Department sent out a letter to doctors scoffing at religious exemptions and essentially ordering them into bullying soldiers to get the shots. The letter was publicized by Allen West, who is one of the candidates challenging Abbott for the GOP nomination on March 1.

Nice to see Gov Abbott posturing to join the 5 GOP Govs pushing back against fed overreach; however, Gov Abbott may want to speak to his own Deputy Joint Surgeon of the TX Military Department - Deputy Joint Surgeon Powell\u2019s internal memo seems to state something to the contrary.pic.twitter.com/VMJu0ka7nJ
— Allen West (@Allen West) 1639688580

Despite recognizing the governor’s order, the letter implores the doctors to take sides. “As a reminder, it is our job to convince Soldiers to receive the vaccine. If you, personally are not able to fulfill this role, please, privately message the State Surgeon.”

What about medical exemptions?

“If we do, and you authorize a temporary or permanent medical exemption for the COVID19 vaccine: ensure that you document (SF 600, uploaded to HRR or open an eCase); ensure that the appropriate exemption code is entered into MWD; and anticipate your decision will come under EXTREME scrutiny. Be prepared to justify it.”

What about religious exemptions?

“Read the regulation. See also AR 600-20. Ever seen a religious exemption for vaccines? NO! You haven't. That kid was administratively separated during IET. Soldiers will try. Soldiers will fail.”

Folks, this is not coming from the DOD or a blue state. This is the Texas Guard’s State Surgeon Peter Coldwell, who works for Adjunct General Tracy Norris – both of whom serve at the pleasure of the governor. How can this continue for even one day in Texas? Abbott claimed to have banned even private businesses from mandating the shot, yet he has his own state employees promising to make the lives of the Texas guardsmen miserable for not getting the shots.

Also, how can the Texas Guard leadership blow off concerns about medical problems, when in a Feb. 1 letter they admit the problem of adverse events? In that letter, they encourage soldiers to get the shots in the military (as opposed to a Walgreens) because then they will be eligible for medical compensation for line-of-duty injury in case of adverse events.

How can something like this be forced upon them? Consider the following points:

  • The military does not allow any vaccine mandate on experimental shots. There currently is no shot that is fully approved and available to service members. A federal judge in Florida agreed that Comirnaty, the approved injection with a license number, is not the same as the Pfizer shot available to the public, which is still operating under EUA.
  • How can they mandate a shot that not only fails to stop transmission but appears to have gone negative? My source in the Texas Guard tells me that over the past few weeks, 71% of the cases among those at the border are vaccinated, even though the background vaccination rate is only 52% among those soldiers.

With negative efficacy of the shots, most soldiers having had the virus already, and so many reported injuries in the military, is it really that hard for Republican governors to stand up for their guardsmen? With Biden’s polling in the toilet, many Democrat governors looking for an off-ramp, and the public finally realizing they’ve been scammed, is it too much to ask for GOP senators to fight the mandates in the budget bill?

Gov. Abbott, for his part, has asked the federal courts for a temporary injunction against the mandate. He may or may not succeed, but the courts (given their track record) cannot be the end-all. He is right that the governor of Texas does not take orders from the president. But it’s time to start acting the part. It would also help if he would start by cleaning up his own generals.

It’s time for the tyrants in Washington to learn what state sovereignty really is.
