Update: Hot Air reader tr4a says local TV is reporting that police have the rifle, but not the suspect. They do have more pictures of the shooter now:

That is how the witnesses called him apparently, probably due to the much higher population of Hispanics compared to Middle Easterners in the area.
Middle eastern looking.
Since he went to the cosmetics counter and shot mainly women, was he doing an honor killing? Suspicious the victims have yet to be identified.
I think he did. Those shorts are quite baggy.
Looks like a Ruger 10-22 with a cut-off Barrel.
Yup.
The photo on the left of him as he walks into the mall does look as if the rifle could be concealed along the right (his right) side of his back.
Still can’t decide if he looks more Arab or Hispanic.
I’m sticking with honor killing either way.
Ruger makes a pistol version of the 10022 takedown, and the pistol barrel will fit the rifle version.
Finding it hard to believe that this kid just walked in and mowed down a dozen people and then simply walked up to the highway and escaped? Kid looks like he’s about 18. Not exactly a mastermind criminal. Strange.
I'm not. It's the lesser of two evils.
It's easier and less risky to accuse them of being Hispanic than muslim since they want to do everything they can to suck up to the muzzies and not cast them in a bad light.
If he's not muzzie then they can claim that equating islam or Middle Easterners with terrorism it racial profiling and see, not ALL terrorists are muslim. Other people are terrorists too.
Moslems can be of any ethnicity. In this African Negro and Arab-Berber are the most common but there are red haired blue eyed converts and Afghans, too.
No way he’s Hispanic.
That’s muslim for sure.
Hmmmm. Never thought of honour killing. Yes, why have the victims not been identified....that’s curious.
Sadly, the media cannot be trusted to tell us the truth. Everything is political now - even the news. Especially the news.
With the latest pictures he looks more like an Arab to me.
Spot on, Sir!
It would be that great for her if he turns out to be an illegal Mexican either.
Looks more ME than Hispanic to me, too.
Looks like a DFW taxi driver to me.
You’re kidding aren’t you?
I mean you’re kidding that you’re “somewhat surprised the press would go with this.”? Why? It is the company line.
Hispanic or Arab look pretty much alike which is why the invaders across the southern border are doubly dangerous. They could be a steady invasion of terrorists.
I think you forgot your sarcasm tag today.
Well, as awful as it sounds, I was actually hoping if it wasn’t a jihadi, at least if it’s an illegal.....
I suspect it will be one or the other.
