Nearly four years after a white gunman killed 23 people at a Walmart in El Paso in a racist attack that targeted Hispanic shoppers, relatives of the victims are packing a courtroom near the U.S.-Mexico border this week to see Patrick Crusius punished for one of the nation’s worst mass shootings. Hilda Reckard, Dean's wife, said they made the trip in order to “stand up to hate.” “I just think that us coming here is to take a stand,” she said. “You knocked us down, you didn’t knock us out.” ‘EVIL DOES EXIST OUTSIDE STORYBOOKS’ Among the first to address Crusius was the family of David Johnson, including his widow, her grown daughter and a granddaughter who witnessed the attack. “I’m going to wait until after trial, at the end.” Other mass shootings in Texas since the Walmart attack have also weighed on Hernandez, including last year's massacre at an elementary school in Uvalde that left 19 children and two teachers dead.
