Wow, how did I not see this before now?
Big shout out to a reader (Mark) for sending me this video.
This is from about 3 days ago, and I didn’t see it anywhere, but it’s amazing.
Actually, the story is from May, but the body cam footage was only recently released.
Perhaps the reason I didn’t see it is because the MSM buried it?
Why?
Because according to the AP the mass shooter was not a straight, white male.
The shooter is reported to be Mauricio Garcia, definitely not a straight, white male.
Unclear if he was straight or not, but doesn’t seem to be “white”.
So not going to be covered much by the MSM.
But it’s an INCREDIBLE video of this heroic officer springing into duty!
WARNING: very graphic video, may not be suitable for all audiences.
From the YouTube description here:
Allen, Texas — On May 6, 2023, an Allen Police Officer speaking to a mother and her two kids heard off more than 10 gunshots in the distance, at the Allen Premium Outlets mall. The officer calls in the shots fired over the radio and another round of gunfire is heard.
The officer grabs his weapon and tells shoppers to get down. The officer runs across the outlet mall for approximately two-to-three minutes, and multiple rounds of gunfire are heard throughout this time. The video was edited by the department to blur out the faces of civilians and victims, and some language was removed.
In it, gunshots ring out and the officer is heard saying, “Shots fired. Shots fired. We got people running.” He grabs his gun, yells for people to “Get moving!” and heads toward the gunfire.
About four minutes into the footage, the officer raises his weapon and shoots at gunman, identified as 33-year-old Mauricio Garcia. After he fires several more times, it’s eerily quiet for the first time since the chaotic footage began. “Shots fired by police. I got him down!” The officer shoots two more times, and screams, “Drop the gun!”
Little more than five minutes after the footage began, the officer had fatally shot Garcia. Another officer approaches Garcia’s body and the officer who ended the mass shooting, says, “We got him bro… we got him.”
ADVERTISEMENTGarcia murdered 8 people and wounded another 7 people when he went on his deadly rampage. On June 26, The Texas Rangers and the Collin County District Attorney’s Office presented the evidence to the grand jury. After reviewing the evidence, they ruled the use of force was justified under Texas law.

Now, as amazing as that all is, I do see two huge red flags….
Perhaps I’m just a bit jaded in covering these stories for almost a decade now, but my gut doesn’t tend to be wrong too often.
And I see a couple strange things here.
One, how perfectly staged is this video?
The officer talking to a mother and two children and telling them to wear their seatbelts then springs into action and saves the day?
Amazing story, but a little “too much” out of Central Casting?
I don’t know.
I could live with that and just chalk it up to getting the best feel-good story of the year and that would be amazing.
But then we have the AP claiming that the shooter was a “Neo Nazi”.
Take a look:
Ahhh man.
I don’t even know what to think but I do know my Spidey Senses are up.
I’m not here to stick up for “Neo Nazis” but I know after the MAGA Movement has been slandered and deemed to all be “Neo Nazis” over the last 8 years that the term is a buzz word now for me.
Whenever the MSM needs to run a narrative, they LOVE to use the phrase “Neo Nazis”.
So…is that what this is?
I don’t know but I know my guard goes up when I see them throwing that word around.
Also, how many “Neo Nazis” have you ever met in your life?
Me?
Zero.
Literally zero.
And yet, according to the MSM they seem to be everywhere.
Have you ever met one?
I mean, maybe allegedly in prison gangs, at least according to some movies I have seen.
But I’ve never seen one in real life.
Now, how about this…
The shooter was allegedly Mexican right, or at least the name implies a non-white heritage, right?
How many Mexican “Neo Nazis” have you met in your life?
Less than zero?
Who knows, maybe I am off base….I guess I don’t really know much about racists or racism. Maybe there are a ton of Neo Nazi Mexicans out there?
I’ve never met any, but maybe?
Not my area of expertise.
Here’s the report from the AP:
Police released video footage on Wednesday of an officer killing a neo-Nazi gunman, quickly ending a mass shooting that left eight people dead and seven others wounded at a Dallas-area shopping mall.
The edited five-and-a-half-minute video details the final moments of Mauricio Garcia, 33, after he unleashed a rain of bullets from an AR-15-style rifle at the Allen Premium Outlets on May 6.
Those killed included three members of a Korean American family including a 3-year-old child, two young sisters, a security guard and an engineer from India.
Police haven’t revealed a motive for the attack.
The shooting came in a year that has seen an unprecedented pace of mass killings.
The footage from a body camera worn by an Allen police officer starts off with the officer telling two children outside the mall to wear their seatbelts and be good.
Moments later, the sound of rapid gunfire erupts from the mall. The children and a woman with them run away as the officer radios in the report, grabs his rifle from his car and dashes toward the gunfire, the body camera footage shows.
As he runs, the panting officer shouts at people to move and get out. At one point, he tells the dispatcher, “I believe we’ve got a mass shooter” and shouts at the gunman to drop his weapon.
“I’m passing injured (people),” he adds.
The officer continues to run through the outside galleries of the outlet as the sound of gunfire bursts continues. About four minutes into the video, the officer opens fire with at least a half-dozen shots.
An instant later, the officer shouts: “Drop the gun!” and then reports: “I’ve got him down!”
Another officer then confirms the gunman is dead.
The video ends with the two officers standing next to the gunman’s body, which is blurred out.
The video was released a day after a grand jury cleared the officer of wrongdoing, indicating that “the use of force was justified under Texas law,” according to a police statement.
In the statement, Allen Police Chief Brian Harvey praised the officer.
“This video shows how quickly a routine interaction with the public turned into a life-and-death situation,” Harvey said. “The officer recognized the danger, ran toward the gunfire and neutralized the threat — and for his actions, the Allen community is forever grateful.”
For now, on the surface we seem to have an absolute hero on our hands with this officer.
We’ll continue to monitor as more details come out.
For now, BRAVO, BRAVO!
