The outpouring of emotion over the mass shooting continues at the Allen Premium Outlets continues as a makeshift memorial grows by the hour.
It was the site of Saturday’s mass shooting that left eight people dead. A constant flow of visitors brought flowers and prayers to the sited where crosses are also posted.
Two volunteers who helped set up the memorial are sharing their grief with visitors. Allen Resident Cheryl Jackson stepped forward to tend to the display as so many flowers kept arriving and people began trampling on them. “And I’m like, 'No. Allen is a clean city. Allen is a great city. Allen is known as a city of love,'” Jackson said. “I was here 48 hours before the shooting happened and thought, there by the grace of God there I go. It is my gift back.”“And she just looked up at me with tears streaming down and she said thank you. And that got me,” Jackson said.
Artist Roberto Marquez began work on a mural Tuesday. He brought eight small crosses as the memorial was getting started days ago, then used donated lumber to post eight much larger crosses. He said he hopes the painting will help promote healing as the memorial swells.“I’ve done a number of other memorials and very few people appear. But now is different,” he said.
