Honoring Victims and Heroes of the Allen Mall Shooting in Texas
Daniela and Sofia Mendoza, two sisters aged 11 and 8 respectively, were among the eight victims of the Allen shooting, the second-deadliest shooting in the US this year. The girls were described as leaders who showed compassion towards others and were known for their perfect attendance at school. Students and teachers throughout Wylie ISD wore yellow, the girls' favorite color, in their memory, and a memorial was set up in front of their school's sign with flowers, balloons, and stuffed animals.
