Eight people were killed, including three children, and at least seven others were injured at the open-air mall before an officer, who was in the area on another call, responded.
Body camera video showed an Allen police officer, who chose not to be identified, running across the outdoor mall to confront the gunman.
In the video, you can hear the officer firing multiple shots.
A Collin County grand jury returned a "no bill" for the use of force by the officer after reviewing the facts of the case.
