Police discredit witness in aftermath of Texas mall shooting.

A witness to the recent Texas mall shooting who called for gun control in the aftermath of the tragedy has had his account disputed by Texas police, who say he has spread "misinformation" in multiple media interviews. Steven Spainhouer, who has identified himself as a former Army officer, gave multiple media outlets a dramatic account of the Texas mall shooting earlier this month, saying he showed up at the mall before police and first responders to begin administering aid to shooting victims. However, Spainhouer's dramatic retelling of the events has been disputed by the Allen Police Department, which released a statement Friday that said he was not a "credible" witness.
