Allen police released body camera video Wednesday of the officer who killed the mass shooter who sparked a May 6 massacre at the Allen Premium Outlets.
The footage shows the moments when an officer, alone, runs into continuous gunfire and puts an end to the deadly shootout.
Allen police edited the five and a half minute video to blur the faces of civilians and victims.
“This video shows how quickly a routine interaction with the public became a life-or-death situation,” Allen Police Chief Brian Harvey said in a news release. “The officer recognized the danger, ran to the gunfire and neutralized the threat, and for his actions, the Allen community will be forever grateful.”

The officer has repeatedly declined interview requests through his attorney and his name has not been made public. He was cleared Tuesday of wrongdoing in the response to the Allen shooting by a Collin County grand jury.
Gunshots erupted outside the mall on May 6, killing eight people, wounding at least seven and traumatizing hundreds more. The officer whose body camera footage was released fatally shot the gunman. He was nearby, at another point in the mall, answering another unrelated call.
