Heart-pounding bodycam video shows the moment a Texas cop gunned down a neo-Nazi shooter who killed eight people and wounded seven others during a bloody rampage at a shopping mall.
The video, released late Wednesday by the Allen Police Department, came a day after the unnamed officer was cleared of wrongdoing in the May 6 takedown of gunman Mauricio Garcia at the Allen Premium Outlets near Dallas.
In the footage, the officer is first seen talking to a woman with two children on a sunny afternoon in the parking lot of the shopping center — when multiple shots suddenly go off in the background.
“I think we got shots fired at the Alamo,” the cop said as he returns to his squad car for a rifle. “We got people running.”
“Get down! Get down!” the cop yells at shoppers running out of the retail center. “Get moving. We got people coming.”
As the officer runs, panting, toward the sound of the gun blasts, he radios his headquarters, reporting: “I believe we’ve got a mass shooter. I’m passing injured [people].” Moments later the officer spots Garcia outside the mall. *** Drop the gun!” the cop shouts as shots are exchanged, then declares: “I’ve got him down.”
The video ends with two police officers standing over Garcia, who is blurred out on the footage.
Garcia had a history of white supremacist posts online — including claims that mass shootings were a sport — and photos of large Nazi tattoos on his body, police later learned.
Authorities said Garcia had been booted from the Army years earlier for mental health reasons.

I've seen this in several reports about shootings over the past month or so. Guess any time a cop shoots someone, the correct language is now "guns down"?
With all thse 3rd worlders coming into our country you can be certain they’ve not left their culture norms back home. Not to mention any who want to hurt this country for any reason they want....or those who send them are want.
I expect our country to become more and more violent....you can’t change those people.
shoulda parked in a parking spot the jerk
Did you see the baby sasquatch in that picture? I didnt even know that they owned purses.
How do they know he was a neo nazi? Was he still carrying his FBI badge?
> He did fine
I agree. Well controlled adrenaline reaction is what I hear.
A "White" Hispanic neo nazi?
Yeah, okay...
Improve cardio.
Get in vehicle and drive, instead f running.
Anybody hear about the 73 year old man, and 74 and 97 year old women murdered by the negro in MA, yesterday?
I thought not.
Yes. They have a propensity to kill White women, the elderly, children, then men, in that order.
And he looks like one of those white hispanics, too.
Maybe he’s fat. Maybe he’s wearing 30lbs of gear and it’s Texas, which really does have big everything, including parking lots and temperatures.
The jokes about Nazis moving to South America after the war were not just jokes.
That particular cancerous strain of Germans infiltrated Latin America before WWII and after.
Hence the love of Fanta and some really good beers.
Maybe someone familiar with Texas law could tell me. Why did this have to go before a grand jury? Cop shoots a bad guy. Should be end of story.
What an “Aryan” look. Lol
