There was another mass shooting in Texas over the weekend. It was the second one in the state in less than 10 days.

I'm Jeff Pierre and this is the 7th from the Washington Post. It's Monday, May 8th. Let's get you caught up with today's seven stories.

Eight people were killed in a shooting at an outlet mall in Allen, Texas.

The attack happened Saturday afternoon.

At least seven other people were injured.

The gunman was killed by police.

President Biden said in a statement

My daughter, which 10 years old, she is terrified.

She's been crying.

We were not able to sleep last night.

She doesn't want to get out of the house ever. She doesn't want to go to school.

My son was five years old, he is terrified, but he still doesn't understand a lot of things that's going on, so it's easier for him.

He had been wearing a patch with the letters R.W.D.S. which stands for

There have been 22 so far, all involving guns. That is on

SUV drove into a crowd another nine were injured. Brownsville is a border town.
