Statement on El Paso Shooting – https://corporate.walmart.com/newsroom/2019/08/03/statement-on-el-paso-shooting

The West Texas shooting, not far from the border with Mexico sparked panic and grief in what was a ghastly scene. When combined with another mass shooting in Ohio on the same day more than two dozen people were killed in the combined rampages in just a single day. Seven more were wounded in a shooting early Sunday (today) in Chicago, IL.

The El Paso shooting suspect, 21-year-old Patrick Crusius, was from the Dallas suburb of Allen, and surrendered to police. In many cases, attackers are killed or take their own Lives, gi in this case, El Paso authorities have the unusual chance to hear from the mass shooting suspect himself.
