At least nine people died, and several others were injured, the provisional balance of the shooting that took place at a shopping center in the city of Allenin Texas. There is a Spaniard named Xavi Cano Gallegowho is a coach of North Texas Soccer Club of MLS Next Pro (3rd division of USA). He was with his wife and their 22-month-old daughter. He narrated what happened in the program ‘Carousel’ of Chain BE.
“It was a horror. I think it was 30 seconds between us entering the store and starting everything, being alive or being dead. Everything happened in the adjacent store. I saw 5-6 dead bodies at the exit and walking around the corner, the attacker was dead with a bullet wound to the head,” he said.
He even said that “we hid in the warehouse of one of the stores. We heard everything and I had to call my husband who was looking at the clothes. Go figure. More than fearing for my life, I feared for my wife and my daughter. I don’t wish it on anyone who can experience it like this, especially the people you love the most, and I was lucky that we were all together. You know if the shooter gets in, our chances of survival are very slim. We pray that he doesn’t come in, that he stays outside because the suffering is too much to bear or he doesn’t know what to do.”
Xavi Cano explained that “we all kept quiet with maximum tension so as not to attract the attention of the assailant. Everyone next to us held hands. My wife and my daughter were next to me, squatting, we kept all the children in trays in the warehouse where they kept their clothes if he ever comes in, so that we can be the whites, so that he can finish us off and they have a better chance of survival. We also have cameras from stores where we check how it moves.”
Finally he noticed that “It’s unbelievable and it’s so outrageous that you can go to a shopping center and buy a rifle. They say it is to defend oneself, but to defend oneself against whom? It doesn’t give me any security. A friend told me, how is that in the most advanced country in the world? All facades. I no longer have the confidence to go to the mall, cinema or parade. It took me a long time to get back somewhere or something,” he concluded.
