A mass shooting occurred at a Walmart store in El Paso, Texas, United States, on the morning of August 3, 2019. A single gunman killed 22 people and injured 24 more.[2][3][4][5][6] The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is investigating the shooting as an act of domestic terrorism and a possible hate crime.[7][8]

Patrick Wood Crusius, age 21, was arrested shortly after the shooting began and was subsequently charged with capital murder.[9] Police believe that the suspect published a white nationalist, anti-immigrant manifesto online immediately before the attack; the post cites inspiration from the Christchurch mosque shootings and refers to the white genocide conspiracy theory.[10][11][12][13]

With 22 fatalities, it was the third-deadliest mass shooting in Texas history, and the seventh-deadliest in modern U.S. history. It was also the deadliest mass shooting in the United States in 2019, and the deadliest in the United States since the Sutherland Springs church shooting in Texas on November 5, 2017.[14]

Incident

The incident took place at a Walmart Supercenter near the Cielo Vista Mall on the east side of El Paso. The single shooter walked into the store carrying what is believed to be a WASR-10 rifle,[15][16] a semi-automatic civilian version of the AK-47, and opened fire just before 10:40 a.m.[17]

An eyewitness claimed that the shooter was firing on customers in the parking lot before he entered the building.[18] Many eyewitnesses told reporters that they originally believed the gunfire to be roof construction or fireworks,[18] before being alerted by other customers or employees.[19]

Calls to 9-1-1 were placed and first responders began to arrive within six minutes of the initial call.[20] The FBI's El Paso field office and the Dallas Field Division of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives responded to the scene along with the Texas Department of Public Safety.[21] Other first responders were off-duty police officers. The shooter was taken into custody without incident, with the El Paso police chief reporting that no officers fired their weapons on the scene.[22][3]

Victims

The shooting resulted in 22 deaths and 24 injuries. One victim died the day after the event, and another victim died two days after the event.[23] The victims include eight Mexican citizens killed and seven Mexicans injured.[24][25]

Thirteen victims were taken to the University Medical Center of El Paso,[21] and another eleven to Del Sol Medical Center.[26] Two children, ages 2 and 9, were transferred from the former to El Paso Children's Hospital after their conditions were stabilized.[4] The Del Sol Medical Center patients were between 35 and 82 years old.[21]

Suspect

Patrick Wood Crusius was arrested shortly after the shooting started, and was charged with capital murder.[4][9][27] Crusius, a 21-year-old white man, was last known to have lived in his family's home in Allen, Texas,[21][26][28] around 650 miles (1,050 km) from El Paso.[29] He graduated in 2017 from Plano Senior High School and was enrolled in Collin College from 2017 until spring 2019.[29]

According to Bellingcat, the suspect's Twitter account portrayed a "relatively normal Trump-supporting Republican" up to April 2017, when the account stopped posting.[30][31] The police confirmed that the shooter bought the gun used in the attack legally, but provided no details about the purchase.[32] Two law enforcement officers told ABC News that after Crusius was taken into custody, he told investigators that he wanted to shoot as many Mexicans as possible.[33]

Manifesto

"In general, I support the Christchurch shooter and his manifesto. This attack is a response to the Hispanic invasion of Texas. They are the instigators, not me. I am simply defending my country from cultural and ethnic replacement brought on by an invasion."

—Introduction of the manifesto, titled The Inconvenient Truth[1]

Police are "reasonably confident"[10] that a white nationalist manifesto, published 27 minutes[4] prior to the shooting on the website 8chan's /pol/ board and titled The Inconvenient Truth, is linked to the suspect. It expresses support for and inspiration by the Christchurch mosque shootings, along with worry about a "Hispanic invasion", automation, large corporations, and environmental degradation.[30][34][11]

The manifesto promotes the white supremacist conspiracy theory of The Great Replacement.[35] The New York Times characterized it as racially extremist, noting the passage: "Hispanics will take control of the local and state government of my beloved Texas, changing policy to better suit their needs." It stated that Hispanics and their miscegenation with whites would cause the loss of purity of race, and criticizes strict gun control laws in Europe, arguing these would make them unable to "repel" immigrants.[13] It criticizes the Democratic Party and Republican Party, but stated that "at least with Republicans, the process of mass immigration and citizenship can be greatly reduced."[36] It warns "heavy Hispanic population in Texas will make us a Democrat [sic] stronghold".[21] It also states that the attack is meant to provide an "incentive" for Hispanics to "return to their home countries", thus dissolving "the Hispanic voting bloc" in the United States,[36] as well as the Democratic Party's appeal to an increasing number of Hispanics in the country would ultimately ensure Democratic Party dominance in the United States, a theory that has been promoted on right-wing radio shows.[35]

Some politicians and El Paso Police Chief Greg Allen mentioned the manifesto in updates with media outlets and press conferences in the early aftermath.[22][37] While the police have not confirmed its authenticity, the manifesto was posted to 8chan before the first public reports of the shooting and identifies the type of weapon used in the attack; the suspect's name was revealed in a separate document in the original 8chan post.[30]

Aftermath

Following the shooting, the Texas Department of Transportation provided information on how to donate blood.[38] Police set up a reunification center at MacArthur Elementary-Intermediate School.[39]

Several funeral homes in El Paso and Ciudad Juárez announced they would provide funeral services for free to the families of the victims as a sign of solidarity for their community.[40] Ciudad Juárez's Rotary International chapter organized a vigil in Ciudad Juárez. They gathered at a park and lit candles and shone cellphone lights in El Paso's direction as a sign of solidarity.[41]

Reactions

United States

Trump makes statement on August 4, 2019
Trump delivers statement on August 5, 2019

Walmart wrote in a statement that the company was "in shock over the tragic events" at Cielo Vista Mall.[20][42]

President Donald Trump condemned the shooting as an "act of cowardice" and "a hateful act."[43] He was briefed about the situation and promised that his administration would provide "total support", and offered "heartfelt thoughts and prayers".[38][44] In a later statement, Trump announced after the shootings in El Paso and in Dayton, Ohio, that all US flags both domestic and abroad should be flown at half-staff until sunset on August 8.[45] Within two days, #WhiteSupremacistInChief reached the number one trend on Twitter as critics pointed out that Crusius, a Trump supporter, in many cases used much of the same language in his manifesto as Trump has in the past, including references to immigration as an "invasion" and calls to "send [them] back".[46][47][48]

U.S. Representative Veronica Escobar, who represents El Paso in Congress, brought a town hall meeting in the city to an early close following the shooting.[49] She urged fellow politicians to "come together, and once and for all address the gun violence epidemic that plagues our nation."[50] Texas Senator Ted Cruz issued a written statement, saying "My heart is with everyone in El Paso struck by this unspeakable evil."[51] Thanks to first responders and law enforcement were also offered by Escobar and Cruz.[51][52] Texas Gov. Greg Abbott called the shooting "a heinous and senseless act of violence."[38] Texas Senator John Cornyn said that mass shootings must not be "exploited for partisan political gain", but instead should be handled as "problems to be solved"; he said he would reject any approach targeting "law abiding citizens" using their "constitutional rights".[53] Beto O’Rourke, a native of El Paso who represented the city in Congress from 2013 to 2019, said he was "incredibly saddened" but that "El Paso is the strongest place in the world. The community is going to stay together. Everyone's resolved to make sure this doesn't continue to happen in this country."[54]

Multiple Democratic 2020 presidential election candidates called for political action to eliminate gun violence.[55] They included Cory Booker,[50] Bernie Sanders[55] and Pete Buttigieg.[56]

The incident caused many celebrities and media figures to debate gun rights within the United States, with some condemning the perceived inaction of many political figures in stopping the large number of mass shootings within the United States.[57] That same evening, Moms Demand Action, which had a meeting planned in Washington, DC, led a march and vigil outside the White House in support of gun control in the United States and the ban of assault weapons.[58]

In response to the shooting, some 8chan users claimed that the shooter was "ourguy". The purported manifesto of the shooter, after being deleted, was re-uploaded by some users, while others commented that it showed zero "effort", or claimed that it was fake.[30] Following the attack, Cloudflare terminated its website security service for 8chan because "8chan has repeatedly proven itself to be a cesspool of hate."[59][60]

Mexico

Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador extended his condolences to the families of the victims, both Americans and Mexicans.[25] The Mexican Secretariat of Foreign Affairs (SRE) identified the eight Mexican citizens killed, and the seven Mexican citizens wounded, in the attack.[24][25] The Mexican victims killed in the attack came from Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua Municipality, and Torreón, Coahuila.[61] President Obrador criticized the "indiscriminate use of weapons" in the United States.[62]

Javier Corral Jurado, the governor of the Mexican state of Chihuahua, offered his assistance to Texas governor Abbott and El Paso mayor Dee Margo, and said that Chihuahua authorities were ready to assist in any capacity if needed by the U.S. government.[63] The Chihuahua government also directed Chihuahua residents and Mexican citizens affected by the attack to the Mexico's Executive Committee for Victims (Spanish: Comisión Ejecutiva de Atención a Víctimas) and set up a phone line for Mexican citizens who needed assistance.[64] The Mexican Consulate in El Paso provided consular assistance to Mexican nationals affected by the attack,[65] and sent personnel to visit hospitalized Mexican victims treated at the hospitals. The SRE confirmed that the consul Mauricio Ibarra Ponce de León would coordinate with El Paso and Ciudad Juárez officials.[66]

On August 4, Mexican Secretary of Foreign Affairs Marcelo Ebrard announced that Mexico would issue a formal charge against Crusius for terrorism against Mexican nationals should Mexico's Attorney General's Office (FGR) support it, and possibly request his extradition from the U.S. to Mexico to face those charges.[62][67] If Crusius is charged with terrorism, it would be the first time in history that Mexico issues a criminal charge of this nature for a crime committed in the U.S. In addition, it would guarantee Mexico access to information about the case.[68][69] Ebrard also stated that the Mexican government would remain in contact with the victims' families throughout the investigation and trial, and that they would press charges against the individual(s) or firm who sold the weapons to Crusius.[70] Former Mexican President Felipe Calderón offered his condolences on Twitter, and also directed a message against Trump. He said that notwithstanding if the attack was confirmed to be a hate crime or not, that Trump should stop his "hate speech" and "stigmatization".[71]

International

The incident was mentioned by Pope Francis during a speech in St. Peter's Square on August 4, in which he condemned attacks on defenseless people and said he was spiritually close to the victims, the wounded and the families affected by the attacks that had "bloodied Texas, California, and Ohio". The Gilroy Garlic Festival shooting happened in California around a week before the El Paso shooting, while the 2019 Dayton shooting occurred in Ohio less than 24 hours after the El Paso shooting.[72]
