The shooting sparked panic among weekend shoppers at Allen Premium Outlets, a sprawling shopping complex in Allen, 25 miles (40 kilometers) north of Dallas.
Last week, a man fatally shot five of his neighbors in Cleveland, Texas, after one of them asked him to stop firing his weapon while their baby was asleep.
