A gunman armed with an assault rifle killed 20 people Saturday when he opened fire on shoppers at a packed Walmart store in the latest mass shooting in the United States.
This CCTV image obtained by KTSM 9 news channel shows the gunman identified as Patrick Crusius, 21 years old, as he enters the Cielo Vista Walmart store in El Paso on Aug 3, 2019.
One suspect was taken into custody while authorities were studying an extremist manifesto purportedly written by the gunman. Police chief Greg Allen confirmed that in addition to the 20 confirmed fatalities, there were 26 wounded. After officials initially said three people had been detained, police confirmed that a 21-year-old from Allen, Texas, was the only person in custody.
Another shopper described how he managed to avoid being hit by hiding along with his mother between two vending machines just outside the store. President Donald Trump, who is spending the weekend at his golf club in New Jersey, condemned the “terrible” shooting after being briefed by Attorney General Bill Barr and Abbott.Two people died and a police officer was wounded Tuesday at a Walmart in Mississippi.
