El Paso shooting suspect told police he targeted ‘Mexicans’

Al Jazeera  

Authorities believe that the accused shooter is the author of a racist screed published online shortly before attack. Patrick Crusius, 21, emerged with his hands up from a vehicle that was stopped at an intersection shortly after the August 3 attack in the border town of El Paso and told officers, “I’m the shooter,” according to an affidavit quoted by media in the United States on Friday. “The defendant stated once inside the store he opened fire using this AK-47 shooting multiple innocent victims,” according to the document, written by detective Adrian Garcia. “I am simply defending my country from cultural and ethnic replacement brought on by an invasion.” The document parrots some of President Donald Trump’s divisive rhetoric about immigration, but the writer said his views predate the Republican’s rise and that any attempt to blame the president for his actions was “fake news.” Many El Paso residents, protesters and Democrats have blasted Trump over his incendiary words, blaming the president for inflaming political and racial tensions throughout the country. The attack at the Walmart store in El Paso came hours before another mass shooting in Dayton, Ohio, in which nine people were killed.
