TX - 22 killed, 26 injured at Walmart, Cielo Vista, El Paso, 3 Aug 2019 *ARREST*

I agree. These people were simply out shopping on a beautiful Saturday afternoon! And now they won't be going home ever again!

Families shopping for back-to-school clothing, shoes, school supplies, backpacks, etc. What a terrible way to start off a new school year!

I'm so thankful for the police officers there. They quickly went in, and stopped many more from being shot. I'm sure the stores were packed on such a beautiful day.

Again, they are the ones who put their lives on the line always running toward grave danger.

Jmho

Is anyone mentioning a press conference? Hoping for an accurate update.

Let's wait for the facts before making judgments...

Ho hum, another mass shooting in the United States...geez, I wish that these were not so common place, that our society just shrugs, like we are completely helpless to be a force for change. We just accept the fact that mass shootings are inevitable and ignore the carnage.

A few weeks ago, I had a training at work, like it is perfectly "normal", "What to do during a live shooting incident". Same as training for using e-mail appropriately. Just another day at work. Mass shooting, e-mail, same difference.

Committing a mass shooting would have never crossed someone’s mind decades ago.

There was no internet or 24 hours news coverage.

Now, If you have a grievance, you commit a mass shooting.

Something’s definitely wrong.

There’s no magic bullet.

CNN reports 11 injured transferred to local hospital/s.

Did you see this reported somewhere?

I wish someone could get that message through to these mass shooters.

Yet another act of senseless violence.

"Full of sound and fury, signifying nothing," to quote Shakespeare.

JMO.

The FBI is examining a manifesto that referenced the Christchurch shooting and indicated the “attack is a response to the
Hispanic invasion of Texas.” It was not immediately confirmed the manifesto belonged to the shooter.

Presser now.

 

[Handsome Sailor]

3 shooters. Gang bangers? We need Law & Order. Now!

Texas Lt. Gov. tells Antifa to 'stay out' of El Paso after Walmart shooting

Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick explicitly warned the left-wing group Antifa against coming to the state following the mass shooting that resulted in more than a dozen casualties at an El Paso Walmart on Saturday.

"Stay out of El Paso," he told Antifa while appearing on Fox News. He noted that while the group wasn't usually welcome, they especially weren't welcome after the shooting.

"Stay out of Texas, basically," Patrick said. "We don't need them coming in on Sept. 1. We didn't need them coming in before this happened."

 

[Gardenista]

I have not seen anywhere that this has anything to do with gangs. It has been confirmed that there was one lone gunman, a 21 year old white male

I'm listening to the PC right now and that is not what he said.

local newspaper update, article is free, reporting maybe 30 people taken to multiple hospitals

Police: Multiple fatalities reported in El Paso Cielo Vista Mall shooting

Always a lot of confusion early on in these events. Horrible videos out from Walmart parking lot.

This rings true. The Christchurch attack was inspired by dozens of other mass shootings.

That attack inspired that California synagogue shooting.

This one could have been inspired by Christchurch.

Each one seems to perpetuate the next. It’s insane.

I am not seeing a photo of a suspected shooter at this link?

 

[gregjrichards]

I’m so sorry to hear about this horrific devastating tragedy. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected and the people of El Passo.

Is CNN really behind on the breaking news? We don’t get any other American news networks here in the U.K anymore.

Well he’s holding an AK-47 in that photo. The manifesto says that’s the weapon he planned to use.
