Several Twitter users are talking about a man named ‘Ignacio Garcia’ as the suspect in the Allen Outlet Mall, Northern Dallas mass shooting. Authorities have not issued any statement confirming the same.
A mass shooting at the Allen Outlet Mall on Saturday left nine dead, including the suspect, and several injured. Three of them are in critical condition, authorities said.
The shooter, in a parking footage, was seen getting out of his car and opening fire in front of an H&M store. Media reports said that there was a pile of bodies, including that of children outside. The suspect was then shot by a police officer, who was on a different call.
Authorities have not released the name of the suspect. However, reports state that the FBI visited a home in Dallas on Saturday and questioned the family for hours.

Social media users expressed their frustration over police not revealing the shooter’s identity. Some said that they understand that a man named Ignacio Garcia is the suspect.
“The shooter was Hispanic, Ignacio Garcia, had an East Dallas prison gang tattoo on his hand, and most likely bought the gun illegally. The third Hispanic guy in a row in Texas to conduct a mass shooting, lets see how your democrat media spin this one,” a Twitter user said.
“Unconfirmed. Hearing reports the Allen Premium Outlets Mass Shooter is Ignacio Garcia from Dallas Texas. Confirmed. Authorities searched a Home in Dallas,” another one added.
“Allen Shooter – Ignacio Garcia – member of Hispanic gang Puro Tango Blast. Regional based street and prison gangs of generally Hispanic men from major Texas cities. One of the most dangerous gangs and reason for biggest violence increase in Houston,” a third one tweeted.

A picture of the suspect lying dead was shared on social media. A tattoo on his hand led people to belive that he could be affiliated to a Texas prison gang called ‘the tango blast’ and could be a cartel member.
However, none of this is confirmed by authorities.
