Memorial grows outside Allen Premium Outlets, therapy dogs arrive

A memorial outside the Allen Premium Outlets continues to grow.

Dallas native Roberto Marquez has made it his life’s work to create memorials at the scene of tragedies. He told ABC News that this memorial in Allen is his 11th.

Marquez said Home Depot donated the lumber he used to build the crosses.

Volunteers from Lutheran Church Charities have also arrived at the scene with therapy dogs. The group has over 140 dogs in at least 25 states.

The same dogs in Allen on Monday were on the scene in Uvalde last year when 19 students and two teachers were killed in a mass shooting at Robb Elementary school.

A vigil for the Allen victims is set for Wednesday at 7 p.m., according to community leaders.
