Workers decided to produce t-shirts as a public show of support for those still healing from their wounds and those still dealing with the trauma of gun violence. In one week, Home Team Prints has sold close to 300 of the ‘Allen Str8ng’ t-shirts.
A moment of silence was held Saturday afternoon, one week — to the minute — since a gunman took the lives of eight people and injured seven others in a mass shooting at the Allen Premium Outlets.Kevin Easley is the co-owner of Home Team Prints in McKinney. For him, Allen is his home team. He's still trying to wrap his mind around the mass shooting at the Allen Premium Outlets mall.
"You talk about ‘not in my town, not in my town, not in my town.’ We can’t say that anymore," he said.Easley helped in the best way he knew how. He printed a t-shirt to honor the eight people who lost their lives. "We definitely wanted the ‘Allen Strong’ in there to have a sense of community. But we wanted to make sure we had the ‘8’ on there," he said."I love the fact that they put 8 on there, she said. "When I saw that it, it literally made me so emotional." "Lots of people coming together," she said. ‘Lots of posts about how can I help, how we can be there, how can we serve the community." "It’s more tangible than, ‘I’m here for you’ or ‘I’m praying for you.
Easley says there’s no end to the fundraiser. As long as there is an order, he will keep printing and donating.
