Rising Concerns Over Frequency of Mass Shootings in Allen and Beyond

Texas Representative Jeff Leach, who represents the area where the Allen Premium Outlets mass shooting occurred, called for lawmakers to address the issue of mass gun violence. He admitted that he didn't know what legislative approaches should be taken at the moment, but emphasized that this is happening way too much and that they must respond boldly, swiftly, and smartly. Families from Uvalde gathered to demand that lawmakers pass gun control legislation, while Texas' GOP leaders have downplayed the potential for gun control legislation and instead focused on mental health services.
