As law enforcement descends on the home of Saturday’s suspected Allen, Texas, mall shooter, his parents have “requested a translator,” according to reports cited by Fox News.

The only details regarding the suspect at this time are that he was in his 30s and “lived in the home with his parents.”

WFAA reported that neighbors indicated the suspect drove “a gray Charger that was always parked in front of the home — except in the last few weeks, when they noticed he had not been around.”

Neighbors also indicated “the suspect always wore some kind of security guard uniform, although no one says they ever saw him with any kind of weapon.”
