Allen Outlet Shooting Leaves Community in Mourning and Uncertainty
Allen Premium Outlets, owned by Simon Property Group, remains closed indefinitely after a mass shooting on Saturday. The mall operator has listed the mall as closed through at least Sunday on its website, which is a departure from how the shopping center’s owner has responded after other recent shootings. Simon lists mass shootings, random acts of violence, and consumer perceptions of safety among the risks that could materially and adversely affect its business.
