ALLEN, TX SHOOTING VICTIM IRVIN WALKER II FUND

On the afternoon of May 6, 2023, at approximately 3:30pm, Irvin Walker was one of the first victims shot during the mass shooting at the Allen Premium Outlet in Allen, TX. Irvin was driving past the shooter’s car to find a parking spot when the gunman began shooting directly into Irvin’s car. While he was shot twice in his chest (one, very close to his heart) and once in his right shoulder—thankfully and by the grace of GOD—he is in stable condition and expected to survive. With that being said, Irvin has a long road to recovery and is expected to have surgery to remove the bullets and its fragments from his body.

First, I am asking that everyone keep Irvin and all the victims in your prayers. Second, if you find it in your heart, please donate to help cover Irvin’s medical and personal expenses as he fights to get back on his feet.

The cost of initial hospitalizations alone for victims of gunshots is more than $700 million annually. Average initial hospitalization cost per patient is approximately $24,000-$32,000. For patients with complications the costs of treatment and recovery are many times that.
