TL;DR Summary

The gunman who killed eight people at the Allen Premium Outlets mall in Texas had eight guns, three of which he carried with him and five in his car, all of which he purchased legally. The shooter had "neo-Nazi ideations," according to authorities, and had an expired Texas security guard license. He was discharged from the Army in 2008 before completing boot camp for possible mental health reasons. The shooter targeted the mall rather than a specific group of people and was killed by an Allen police officer within 3-4 minutes of the attack.
