EL PASO, Texas — At least 20 people were shot to death and 26 others were wounded after a lone gunman went on a shooting rampage Saturday morning at a Walmart store in this border city.
The suspect, identified by two law enforcement sources as Patrick Crusius, 21, of Allen, Texas, is in custody. Authorities are investigating a possible online writing that could be linked to the suspect and could indicate that the shooting spree is a hate crime.
Most of the victims were at the Walmart near Cielo Vista Mall.
The man suspected of opening fire in a Walmart Saturday traveled over 650 miles from his home in Allen, Texas, before walking into the El Paso store armed with an automatic rifle and killing 20 people.
The police have yet to confirm a motive for the attack, but but the suspect, 21-year-old Patrick Crusius, is believed to have posted a hate-filled manifesto to an anonymous online message board 45 minutes before the shooting, citing his support for the New Zealand mosque terrorist and saying his attack “is a response to the Hispanic invasion of Texas.”
