Can a rifle weapon that he had fire a lot of rounds before needing reloading? I wonder if the weapon is registered to him.
Yes. That looks like a 30 round magazine.

I wonder who deleted his social media presence.

The Feds probably asked for it to be taken down.

It’s pretty standard in crimes like this.

My nieces went to Plano Senior High, same school as the shooter and his twin sister. He has an older brother too. Plano is an upscale suburb near
Dallas also, lots of
Dallas Cowboys live in my brother's neighborhood.

Just caught the end of an interview with Mary Ellen O’Toole, a former FBI profiler:

“It’s important to know that to do something like this, you view human beings as objects.

That thinking takes a long time.”

[Paraphrased] It can take years to get to that point, but can be accelerated by hate on the internet.

Basically, this didn’t happen overnight.

Yes he does. If my daughter wanted to date him I would have said "no way". His picture brought out all kinds of
warnings to me. I know there are innocent looking killers as well, but, this guy looks down right scary imo.

He has such an ugly look on his face.

It is being speculated that he had an AK-47.
If true, yes.
I'd have to check, but I believe dozens of rounds.
*30 rounds is standard capacity, but it can go up to 75.

This monster wanted a free ride in life and he has that now.

"We won’t link to it here, but by late afternoon on Saturday, a racist “manifesto” indicating a desire to kill immigrants and reportedly penned by the shooter began circulating on social media."

"It’s a sobering reminder of a scene that is shocking for how commonplace it is; as of July 31, there had been 248 mass shootings in the U.S. this year."
Not a mirror to our society at all! IMO

It’s great to see the massive turnout for blood donations today.

It sounds like they’re covered.

"I heard the shots but I thought they were hits, like roof construction,' said Adriana Quezada, 39, who was in Walmart with in the women’s clothing section with her two children.

She said she saw four men, dressed in black, wearing shirts, moved together firing guns indiscriminately.

'I saw four men, shooting everywhere,' Quezada said.

'I told my son, those are gunshots.'

Her daughter, 19, and son, 16, threw themselves on the ground, then ran out of the Walmart through an emergency exit. "

<modsnip - unverified info>

No confirmation (at all) of other shooters. His name is Patrick Crusius.

Clearly she was confused.

She may have seen law enforcement moving in, and believed they were firing or something.

There’s always a great deal of confusion when these things happen, and we always hear about multiple gunmen.

Usually it’s just one though.
