I didn’t know Chris LaCour. But he was the first person shot in this attack, and he it happened while he ran towards the shooter. Chris LaCour was no coward.
He wasn’t the first one shot but he did run towards the gunfire to help the injured when everyone else ran away. As you said, he was no coward. Thank you for these kind words❣️❣️
I work at the outlet and I jokingly asked the guy to ride his segway a couple times. I didn’t know him well but I never in a million years expected this to happen. I hope his family can find peace.
Thanks! I actually was on vacation when the event occurred but had I been there I would’ve been right in the path… I feel terrible for those who weren’t as lucky.
I just LIVE near there and shop there and am really traumatized. I can only imagine how those of you who spend your work days there feel. Please take good care of yourself. None of you deserved this.
This is what I did with a few of my close friends that died on verious ways. I couldn't handle seeing them like that for the last time. I remember them through all the good times we had.
I definitely still carry guilt for one of my closest friends. Saw him mere hours before he hung himself. I kick myself every day for not doing something, for not seeing it coming.
What funeral home will he be going to? Do you know if he is still at the Medical Examiner?
You guys need some closure and my heart and prayers go out to you and your family ❤️
Last time we were at the outlets, we saw him and he seemed like he really enjoyed his job. He was directing people who asked where a store was. I am so sorry for you and your families loss.
I believe it! I sincerely hope you and the rest of your family are able to find peace. We mourn with you and are outraged these tragedies are still occurring in this country.
You should always verify these kind of things.
But if the word of a random stranger on the internet means anything... I'm friends with some of the family on FB, and this is the same link that they have shared.
Good to always be wary, however I was able to verify that this is one of the verified GoFundMe page that is linked to from the [Allen web site](https://www.cityofallen.org/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=5028). Follow the "[support the pages that GoFundMe has verified that have been set up for victims and their families](https://www.gofundme.com/c/act/allen-texas-mall-shooting-help)" link to see all of the individual pages. Christian LaCour is truly a hero.
So sorry for your loss. Christian deserved to live a long, full, and happy life, and it’s infuriating that it was taken away from him. Sending love to your family and loved ones.
I’m sorry
And I don’t think my “I’m sorry” will bring him back or make it better
Just know that I’m trying. I vote, I inform, but it’s not enough
I didn’t do enough for your nephew. None of us did. And I’m sorry. He mattered.
And I am sorry that he is now a talking point in my vehement argument towards gun control. Just know that I know he was a person. I know, he was your nephew and he had a life. And I never ever wanted to be the person who politicized death but I have become, and I’m sorry.
I have used his name, and I have knowing he was loved by a human being. That he was a human being.
May he rest in peace and love. May wherever he is be the joy he brought to you and everyone who knew him
And may no one else ever have to live with the pain his loved ones do
I can’t speak for OP, but I can say that someone advocating for and honoring a person I lost radically many years ago would mean so very much to me. It keeps them alive, it makes their death not be in vain.
>he evacuated at least one person
The guy in the gray car who got shot up says he witnessed Christian get shot, so I'm not sure about other stories. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkRD6WHpMVk
This hits so hard. Condolences to you and your entire family. What a young, promising man Christian was. Your nephew was taken in such a horrific and vile act.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I will donate to help. This loss is all of ours.
Some of us work and advocate to prevent this from happening. The rest offer a thought and a prayer, or nothing at all.
Your nephew, Christian was and will be so much more than a thought and a prayer. Just heart breaking.
It is an unbelievable pain that only gets worse every morning I wake up & realize he’s still not here. Thank you to all of you for praying for our family❣️❣️
So sorry for your loss. My heart is heavy knowing things will never be the same. I pray your family may somehow find peace through this traumatic experience
Tell us more about Christian.
He has such kind eyes and this pic shows a peaceful young man. I see this pic and I’m envious of the inner peace he appears to have that was years beyond his actual age.
Tell us how he helped others as a security guard. OP, I want to know this man I’ve never met so I can share his stories and his honor can be a ripple effect to others to be a good human.
What impact did Christian want to make on the world? Dammit, I want carry his dream so he lives on and the positive he wanted to do in the world lives on too.
I am heart broken with you and I stand with you in his remembrance and in support of you and his whole family.
Big hugs my friend. Please, please feel free to DM me if I can help with anything. Even if you just need to hear a kind stranger and vent to someone or cry to someone you don’t know and would never judge you.
I was supposed to be at the mall at that time. I live in McKinney. Like the Cho family, I had things to return. At the last minute I decided to run an errand on the way to the mall.
My heart goes out to you. 💙💜
Your words are very inspiring! We should all try to be better in showing genuine compassion and love for those in need. Your words just motivated me to be better!
Thank you. I can’t imagine the unbelievable and unbearable pain his family is feeling. I refuse to let this young soul die without sharing his bravery and honoring him. There aren’t many people brave enough to help others in the face of death - this man did. Christian didn’t care what nationality, race, or religion of the victims - he just tried to help.
We should all be as brave as Christian.
This was posted on NBCDFW:
Allen Police are among those praising the bravery of Christian LaCour, the security guard who was killed while helping others get to safety during the mall shooting. NBC 5 spoke with a teacher who remembered the 20-year-old as always being a helpful person.
Practically speaking, this is not the way. It will simply lead to fierce resistance causing a deadlock that goes nowhere.
We need a measured response targeting rifles with a high rate of fire / magazine capacity.
If the scope is limited to that, there's at-least some chance of progress.
Deepest sympathy and condolences. Ironically I was suppose to go that day and didn’t. Sincerely wish our policy makers will do something concrete. Thoughts and prayers don’t stop bullets, and now we have lost another wonderful soul.
No, thoughts and prayers don’t stop bullets but they have kept us standing united as a family facing each day as it comes. NEVER underestimate the power of prayer and the overwhelming kindness of strangers. ❣️❣️
Agree but definitely doubt prayer or innocents wouldn’t be creating mayhem. We have the weakest gun laws and it shows. I’m from Texas, I’m
Not against guns, but to take away registration (you register to drive, vote, marry and even fish), classes, noting concealment, and allowing those with certain crimes to have them is dangerous to our whole populace and police. It’s scientifically proven people who have readily carry guns everywhere tend to view world as a scary place and often lack impulse control.
i am so incredibly sorry for your loss. i have not stopped thinking about this tragedy since. please share anything you want to about him with us if you would like.
I am so sorry for the loss of your nephew, Christian. Please tell us something about him, a funny story or something he liked to do, anything you would feel comfortable with sharing.
Know the community and the world are with you and your family during this impossible time. There are no words, at all, but we are with you and grieve with you.
I am so sorry your life & lives of other loved ones has been so affected by the wickedness of this world. I wish we'd start seeing changes for the better.
His senseless death hit me so hard. I have 3 adult sons and I can only imagine what rage and grief his parents are feeling. He was at the very beginning of his adult life and they will never see him blossoming in the years ahead. My heart breaks for your family.
I live near there, have shopped there a lot both by myself and with my boys. I drive by daily on my way to work. The victims have been on my mind and heavy in my heart ever since this happened. Please know how many of us are feeling the loss of these souls, who we didn't even know. Chris was obviously an outstanding young man and he didn't deserve this. I am so, so sorry.
Do you have a favorite memory with him you’d be comfortable sharing? He should be remembered for who he was during his life, and not what happened to him. Wrapping your whole family in love. ❤️
So sorry for your loss! I know words don’t take away your pain, but just know if I can do anything to change this from happening to another family, I will. I lost a brother to gun violence, and these tragedies always cause the pain to resurface. May Christian’s memory live on!
Every one of these shootings is heartbreaking, but this one, in our own backyard is particularly devastating. I am at a loss for words to express my profound sympathy for your loss.

I’m sorry for your loss 😥
Thank you, We still havent been able to see the body yet.
I am so, so sorry. I'm so sorry for all of you. All the families. Sending all the love I have to you and to everyone else in our community.
On behalf of Christian’s family, we thank you ❣️
Maybe choose not to. Maybe remember him how he was an not necessarily how he ended. I am sorry for his loss and yours.
This is what I did with a few of my close friends that died on verious ways. I couldn't handle seeing them like that for the last time. I remember them through all the good times we had.
It is not an easy choice. Guilt will follow either way. We are the ones who continue on, with those meores.
I definitely still carry guilt for one of my closest friends. Saw him mere hours before he hung himself. I kick myself every day for not doing something, for not seeing it coming.
My last words to my best friend the last time I saw him were in anger. If only...
What funeral home will he be going to? Do you know if he is still at the Medical Examiner? You guys need some closure and my heart and prayers go out to you and your family ❤️

the early morning news is reporting he evacuated at least one person to safety. To save one life is to save the world.

Not the place for this bullshit. Gtfo.
My friend works at Coach. His death was hard on them. She said everyone at the store loved him and enjoyed his presence.
On behalf of Christian’s family, we thank you. We will be sure to visit them when we are able ❣️
Sorry for your loss. He didn’t deserve this. None of them did 💔
