El Paso Mass Shooting

The gunman still faces state charges that could result in him receiving the death penalty. There is no timeline on when that trial will begin.

Patrick Crusius faces up to 90 life sentences after his 2019 rampage, which authorities said was spurred on his belief Texas was being “invaded” by Hispanics. Victim impact statements are scheduled to continue Thursday.

The Walmart shooter faces life in prison. In February, he pleaded guilty to 90 federal charges including hate crimes.

The monument would be placed at the state Capitol complex pending approval by the Texas Legislature.

Patrick Crusius showed little emotion as he listened to each one of the names of the 23 people gunned down at a Walmart in 2019.

Three years after the mass shooting in El Paso, “invasion” rhetoric persists. Texas Republicans like Gov. Greg Abbott and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick invoke similar language when describing the increasing number of undocumented immigrants who try to enter the U.S. Some worry this could lead to more violence.

While Texans are still reeling from the May shooting in Uvalde that claimed the lives of 21 people, the state faces another somber reminder this week of the proliferation of gun violence in Texas.

Though nearly 2,000 miles and three years apart, the circumstances of the racist mass shootings in Buffalo and El Paso are strikingly similar.

Twenty-three people were killed when a gunman opened fire at a Walmart. El Pasoans worry conditions are ripe for more hate crime violence.

The Legislature passed a bill allowing Texans to carry handguns without a license or training, an expansion of gun rights so divisive Republican leaders in previous years refused to touch it.
