A 4-year-old boy shoots police officers in Utah, United States (Walla system)
Several bystanders, including children, were injured tonight (Sunday) in a mass shooting incident in a mall near the city of Dallas in the state of Texas in the United States.
According to reports in the local media, the suspect in the shooting was found lifeless at the scene of the incident.
As of this time, the number of injured from the shooting is unknown and there are no other deaths.
"He walked on the sidewalk outside the mall and shot his gun everywhere," an eyewitness told the local media.
"Police arrived at the scene and began investigating the incident," the Allen Police Department's Twitter account, the town where the shooting took place, posted.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott called the shooting an "unspeakable tragedy" in a written statement, and indicated that he was ready to offer whatever assistance local authorities needed.

This is the 198th mass shooting in the United States since the beginning of 2023, a record pace in the past eight years, according to the organization that collects information on the subject.
Just at the end of last month, a similar incident took place in Texas, in which a Mexican citizen murdered five family members, including a 9-year-old boy, after they asked him to stop shooting outside their home.
This is joined by another event from last week, in which four people were shot to death in different places, including a local McDonald's branch, in the state of Georgia.
