El Paso mass shooter admits he targeted Mexicans
Patrick Crusius, the suspect in the El Paso mass shooting
The suspect accused of killing 22 people at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, has confessed that he was targeting Mexicans.
An arrest report obtained by news outlets sheds light on his arrest and his interviews while in police custody.
Officials believe the alleged gunman, Patrick Crusius, is the author of an online post decrying Hispanic migrants.
The shooting came just hours before another mass shooting in Dayton, Ohio.
The two incidents have prompted a national debate about gun laws, with Republicans indicating they may be open to tightening background checks on buyers.
Federal officials say they are considering hate crime charges against Mr. Crusius, who could face the death penalty if found guilty of the mass murder.
