A British man has told how he and his family took cover in H&M as a gunman opened fire in a Texas shopping mall.
Eight people were killed in the shooting at the Allen Premium Outlets on Saturday, including two young sisters and a three-year-old boy and his parents. Abu Akther, formerly of Hanley and Seabridge, was inside the mall shopping for a swimsuit for his daughter when he heard gunshots which 'sounded like a pop', Stoke-on-Trent Live reports.
After making sure his children and wife were safe, the 41-year-old said he tried to find out what was happening and saw bodies lying on the ground. He described the scenes as surreal as they took cover under clothes and railings inside the shop.
