Two elementary school students were gunned down and their mother gravely injured during a mass shooting that killed eight on Saturday in Allen, Texas, according to The Dallas Morning News. They were identified by the district’s superintendent as Daniela Mendoza and her sister Sofia, who were in the fourth and second grades, respectively. Their mother, Ilda Mendoza, remains in critical condition at a local hospital. The South Korean Consulate in Houston also identified three other victims, saying they were of Korean descent and had U.S. citizenship. The agency identified them as Kyu Song Cho, 37, and Kang Shin Young, 35, a couple whose 3-year-old son James also died Saturday. A GoFundMe started by their church said the couple, known as Cindy and Kyu, were at the mall with their two sons. “After being released from the ICU, their six year old son William is the only surviving member of this horrific event,” it said. Later on Monday, the Allen Police Department released all of the adult victims’ identities, naming the three other victims as Christian LeCour, 23; Elio Cumana-Rivas, 32; and Aishwarya Thatikonda, 26.
