UPDATE (03/08/19): El Paso District Attorney Jaime Esparza announced Sunday that Prosecutors will seek the Death Penalty for Patrick Crusius, the suspect of the El Paso mass shooting. An FBI Official said they are treating the case as “Domestic Terrorism.”
El Paso Police Chief Greg Allen said Crusius purchased his weapon legally. Allen also said that Police are beginning to remove bodies from the scene at the Walmart in El Paso.
Multiple people were killed on Saturday afternoon (3rd August 2019) in a mass shooting near a Walmart in El Paso, Texas. One person is in custody. The FBI and ATF are assisting authorities with the investigation.
Most of the victims are believed to have been at the Walmart store, which is adjacent to the Cielo Vista Mall. Shoppers were sent racing for cover in a chaotic scene that prompted a massive Police and Medical response. The shooter has been identified as Patrick Crusius (21) who is a resident of Texas. Reports indicate he drove at least ten (10) hours to reach his intended location and carry out the gruesome massacre. According to eyewitness reports, he was seen wearing dark cargo pants, a black T-shirt, and some sort of Earmuffs. He was around 5-foot-10-inches tall, thin and carrying an AK-style Semi-Automatic Rifle, which he fired randomly at people.

Authorities are investigating online remarks previously made by the shooter, which attacked immigrants and showed sympathy to the Christchurch attacker who is accused of killing 49 people in mass shootings at two (2) New Zealand Mosques earlier this year.
One official said that the specific number of people killed and wounded was subject to change, noting that some of the victims were critically wounded. See the brief statement made by Walmart below as well as photos from the scene. We’re praying for the victims, the community & our associates, as well as the first responders.
