The Wal-Mart Shooter Patrick Crusius: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know
HEAVY ^ | 08/04/2019

Posted on 08/04/2019 5:43:30 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Patrick Crusius was identified as the suspect in the shooting at Walmart near Cielo Vista Mall in El Paso, Texas, by multiple news outlets including NBC, CNN and USA Today. Crusius, 21, is from the Dallas/Fort Worth area and is currently in police custody.

Officials said during a press conference there were 20 people dead and 26 injured. Officials also confirmed the existence of a manifesto, which they said is a part of their investigation. They did not confirm the manifesto was written by the suspect. Law enforcement told ABC News he told them he wanted to kill as many Mexicans as possible.

Today’s mass shooting is the deadliest mass shooting since October 1, 2017, the day of the Las Vegas mass shooting at Mandalay Bay.

Crusius was “very much a loner,” Leigh Ann Locascio, his former neighbor, told the Los Angeles Times.

The state of Texas will lead prosecution on the suspect. They plan to charge him with capital murder. Officials also referenced possible investigations into hate crime, but would not define a motive in the early stages of the investigation.

“Not speaking about this particular incident, which is still under investigation, but the manifesto narrative is fueled by hate, and it’s fueled by racism and bigotry and division,” U.S. Rep. Veronica Escobar said at the press conference.

She said “strong statements” will be forthcoming if a hate-crime motive is determined, “but for now, we’ll let the investigation continue,” she said.

The shooting was reported at 10:39 a.m. Police arrived on the scene six minutes later, officials said. Law enforcement declined to identify the suspect, saying he was a 21-year-old man from Allen, Texas.

Area hospitals reported there were a total of 24 injured people among the hospitals, including two children. Also among the injured were military service members from Fort Bliss, according to local news reports.

Police scanner traffic from the area suggested that Crusius was in custody about noon local time. The FBI and ATF responded to the scene, alongside the El Paso Police Department and other state and local police departments.

A motive for the attack has not been officially confirmed by police, but CNN reports that an online posting that appears to have been made by the suspect is being investigated by the FBI.

The shopping area, near Cielo Vista Mall, is close to the United States border with Mexico. It is a popular location to shop for people on both sides of the border. License plates from both the United States and Mexico appear in the parking lots, NBC reported.

“We must do one thing today, one thing tomorrow and each and every day after this,” Texas Governor Greg Abbott said during a press conference. “We must unite.”

A Walmart employee told KTSM she thought boxes were being dropped when she first heard the gunfire. She asked to be identified only by her first name, Leslie.

“I thought it was just like loud boxes being dropped or something, until they got closer and closer,” she said. “That’s when I looked at my co-worker, and we looked at each other like shocked and scared.”

She said she tried to rescue as many people as she could.

“I got all the people that I could. I even found a little girl that was missing from her parents, and I got her, too. I tried to get as many people as I could out,” she said.

There were thousands of people inside the Walmart when the shooting began, according to police.

Adriana Quezada, 39, was in the store with her two children. She initially thought the gunshots were sounds from construction work.

“I heard the shots but I thought they were hits, like roof construction,”she told the Associated Press.

Here’s what you need to know about Patrick Crusius and the shooting:


1. Crusius Was Taken Into Custody ‘Without Incident’

Matthew Keys (@MatthewKeysLive) August 03, 2019

The suspect, identified by multiple sources as Patrick Crusius, was driving a grey vehicle, according to police scanner chatter. Early reports indicated the suspect had an AK47. That information was not immediately confirmed by police. Local reported Mills Hayes tweeted that the suspect was taken into custody “without incident” and that officers did not fire any shots during the arrest.

El Paso Police Chief Gregory K. Allen said during an evening press conference, “he surrendered to approaching officers.”

He did not reveal what type of gun was used in the attack, but said it was a high-powered weapon capable of causing significant damage in the crowded store. Walmart was especially busy Saturday with a high number of back-to-school shoppers.

“If you’re firing randomly at people, you can cause a lot of damage,” he said.

Police discussed recovering the weapon on the scanner but did not specify what type of weapon it was. At about 12:40 p.m., scanner traffic indicated that the police had recovered the weapon as well as the suspect’s car.

Asked what can be done to prevent this type of mass catastrophe in the future allegedly committed by “a white man with a manifesto,” Allen said, “That’s for a psychologist to answer.”

Texas Governor Greg Abbott also related the mass shooting to mental health.

“The bottom line is mental health is a large contributor to any type of violence or shooting violence,” he said.

He said Texas was grieving for El Paso, where a normal day of shopping became a deadly day for the community.

“Texas grieves for the people of El Paso today,” he said.

Abbott asked people to remember El Paso in its prayers and to keep their loved ones close.

“For every mom and dad, for every son and daughter, we ask that you put your arms around your family tonight and give them a hug and let them know how much you love them,” he said.

Officials also thanked law enforcement for their rapid response. The shooting was reported at 10:39 a.m. and the first law enforcement officer was on the scene at 10:45 a.m., Allen said at the press conference. Other responding agencies included the FBI and border patrol, among others.

“Everyone that carries a badge in this town pretty much showed up to this particular scene,” he said.

Miguel Rodriguez, a witness, told The Daily Beast the gunman, “started shooting everyone, aisle by aisle, with rage.”

Witnesses told CBS 4 News that the suspect possibly stopped shooting because he ran out of ammunition.

Vanessa Saenz told Fox News Crusius seemed “very nonchalant, like he was on a mission.”

He was “just pointing at people and shooting straight at them. I saw about three or four just fall to the ground.” At that point, she was at a stop sign while other cars were passing. “He was just shooting randomly, it wasn’t to any particular person,” she said.

Scanner chatter was focused on Walmart at the Cielo Vista Mall. Police also said on the scanner they were sending officers in to complete “tactical searches” in the mall.

Crusius has not yet been charged. It is not clear if he has hired an attorney.

Walmart is not a part of the Cielo Vista Mall. It is located nearby. The mall was put on lock-down and searched by law enforcement.

Walmart issued a statement on Twitter saying they were “in shock” following the mass shooting.

We're in shock over the tragic events at Cielo Vista Mall in El Paso, where store 2201 & club 6502 are located. We’re praying for the victims, the community & our associates, as well as the first responders. We’re working closely with law enforcement & will update as appropriate.

— Walmart (@Walmart) August 3, 2019

The owner of the mall made a brief statement, saying, “Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims.”


2. Crusius Once Wrote on LinkedIn That He Was Not Motivated to Do Anything Other Than to Get By

Crusius wrote on his LinkedIn page in 2015 that he was not motivated to do anything other than enough to get by. Shortly after the shooting on August 3, that page was deleted. Crusius said on that page that he attended Plano High School. Plano is located near Crusius’ family home in Allen, Texas, and is about 650 miles away from El Paso. Collin County Community College confirmed he attended their school through the spring of 2019.

— Brianna Sacks (@bri_sacks) August 3, 2019

He wrote in the About section of the LinkedIn page, “I’m not really motivated to do anything more than what’s necessary to get by. Working in general sucks, but I guess a career in Software Development suits me well. I spend about 8 hours every day on the computer so that counts as technology experience I guess. Pretty much gonna see what technology careers present themselves; go with the wind.”

When writing about his life in high school, Crusius said that he did not participate in extracurricular activities because of “lack of freedom.” A Facebook page that shows the suspect’s face as the profile image shows no biographical information or recent postings. On that page, Crusius has three visible friends.

Leigh Ann Locascio, a former neighbor, told the Los Angeles Times Crusius spoke negatively about students who joined the school band or played sports. He often sat alone on the bus in junior high and high school. He was “very much a loner, very stand-offish” and “didn’t interact a whole lot with anyone.”

Her son, Tony Locascio, often walked to school with Crusius and his sister, but Crusius often walked ahead of them or behind them and rarely interacted.

“He wouldn’t talk to people. No one really knew him,” Tony Locascio told the Los Angeles Times.

Jacob Wilson, a former classmate, told the newspaper Crusius was “picked on” in school because of the way he spoke and because he often wore hand-me-down clothes. He described him as a “very strong minded” person who tried to “take charge in class.” He was “irritable and had a short temper,” so other students did not want to work with Crusius, he told the newspaper.

Classmates taunting Crusius seemed relentless, he said.

“Every time I looked up in class it was someone new speaking negatively to the kid, ‘Patrick that is dumb, stupid,’” Wilson said.

Daniel Heo lost touch with Crusius after elementary school. He remembered playing with him during recess at Beverly Elementary School in Plano, Texas.

“I’m shocked. I remember him being a nice kid,” Heo told the Los Angeles Times.


3. A Manifesto Purporting to Be From the Shooter Has Been Circulating on 8Chan

BREAKING: FBI investigating possible manifesto from the shooter which starts with the following two sentences: "In general, I support the Christchurch shooter and his manifesto. This attack is a response to the
Hispanic invasion of Texas"

— Scott Stedman (@ScottMStedman) August 3, 2019

Reporter Scott Stedman has tweeted that he had told the FBI that a manifesto which was purported to be from the suspect had been circulating on 8Chan. Stedman said that the FBI is treating the manifesto seriously. 8Chan is a controversial message board that has been described as “the home of the most vitriolic content on the internet” by Vox.

That manifesto, which has been seen by Heavy.com but not verified as belonging to the suspect, makes negative references to Hispanic immigration into the U.S.. It criticizes both major political parties in the U.S., but the writer stresses that he supports some in the Republican Party in terms of immigration policies. The writer also makes reference to alleged Christchurch mosque shooter, Brenton Tarrant.

Law enforcement confirmed they are reviewing the manifesto, but could not confirm whether it was written by the shooter.

The manifesto appears to have been posted before the first reports of the shooting. It includes details that match up with what happened at the El Paso Walmart.

The manifesto was titled “An Inconvenient Truth.”

It began:

“In general, I support the Christchurch shooter and his manifesto. This attack is a response to the Hispanic invasion of Texas. They are the instigators, not me. I am simply defending my country from cultural and ethnic replacement brought on by an invasion. Some people will think this statement is hypocritical because of the nearly complete ethnic and cultural destruction brought to the Native Americans by our European ancestors, but this just reinforces my point. The natives didn’t take the invasion of Europeans seriously, and now what’s left is just a shadow of what was. My motives for this attack are not at all personal. Actually the Hispanic community was not my target before I read The Great Replacement. This manifesto will cover the political and economic reasons behind the attack, my gear, my expectations of what response this will generate and my personal motivations and thoughts.”

It goes on to list “political reasons.”

“In short, America is rotting from the inside out, and peaceful means to stop this seem to be nearly impossible,” it said.

The manifesto said both Democrat and Republican politicians are failing because they are “either complacent or involved in one of the biggest betrayals of the American public in our history.” The “betrayal” is “the takeover of the United States government by unchecked corporations.”

“Due to the death of the baby boomers, the increasingly anti-immigrant rhetoric of the right and the ever increasing Hispanic population, America will soon become a one party-state. The Democrat party will own America and they know it,” it said.

It described Democrat policies of open borders, healthcare for undocumented immigrants and citizenship as a way to enact a coup by recruiting voters.

It lists “economic reasons” saying immigration will shrink the number of jobs available to American citizens.

“Even though new migrants do the dirty work, their kids typically don’t. They want to live the American Dream which is why they get college degrees and fill higher-paying skilled positions,” the manifesto said.

It goes on to address climate change, saying, “Everything I have seen and heard in my short life has led me to believe that the average American isn’t willing to change their lifestyle, even if the changes only cause a slight inconvenience. The government is unwilling to tackle these issues beyond empty promises since they are owned by corporations.”

It said reducing the number of people in the country is a way to help staunch the drain on natural resources.

“I just want to say that I love the people of this country, but g*d d*** most of y’all are just too stubborn to change your lifestyle. So the next logical step is to decrease the number of people in America using resources. If we can get rid of enough people, then our way of life can become more sustainable.”

It goes on to list gear including an AK47 or WASR 10, saying, “it overheats massively after about 100 shots fired in quick succession. I’ll have to use a heat-resistant glove to get around this.”

“I didn’t spend much time at all preparing for this attack. Maybe a month, probably less. I have do this before I lose my nerve. I figured that an under-prepared attack and a meh manifesto is better than no attack and no manifesto,” it said.

It goes on to denounce “race mixing” and said the job he wants will likely be automated. The writer expected to die, saying capture would be worse than death.

“America can only be destroyed from the inside-out. If our country falls, it will be the fault of traitors. This is why I see my actions as faultless. Because this isn’t an act of imperialism but an act of preservation,” it said.

The manifesto concluded with the writer saying his opinions predate Trump and his presidential campaign.

Crusius’ Facebook page was deleted after the shooting. A Twitter account under his name has not been confirmed to belong to him. It was also deleted after the shooting.

The Facebook page was seen by Heavy before it was taken down. It included just one photo, the profile picture at the top of this article, and no other posts or details about the suspect. He had only three friends, including his twin sister. The other two friends were a man and woman whose connection to Crusius was not immediately known.


4. Crusius’ Last Known Address Was in Allen, Texas

Public records show Crusius’ last known address was his family’s home in Allen, Texas, about 30 minutes outside of Dallas and more than 9 hours away from El Paso. It is not clear if he has any connections to the El Paso area. Crusius appeared to have lived with his parents and also has a twin sister and older brother, according to public records. Crusius’ family has not commented about the shooting.

El Paso Mayor Dee Margo said a member of the El Paso community would not have attacked its people.

“This would not have happened from an El Pasoan, I can assure you,” he said.

He said El Paso will not be defined by the tragedy but by its response.

“United our community will heal. El Paso is too strong to be broken by a cowardly act like this one,” he said.

He said the community is mourning the loss.

“I want to ensure the El Paso community that we are safe,” he said. “We are safe.”

Officials confirmed 20 people were killed and 26 were injured. Reports indicated local hospitals were flooded with victims. The El Paso Police Department issued a plea via Twitter for blood donations in the wake of the shooting saying, “Blood needed urgently. Multiple injured transported to various hospitals. Blood donation centers Vitalent Blood Services at 424 s Mesa Hills and 133 N Zaragoza.”

A video on Twitter showed a long line of people waiting to donate blood.

The number of victims was described as “shocking” by Rep. Veronica Escobar.

“Rep. Veronica Escobar on CNN says she won’t confirm the number of fatalities from the mass shooting in El Paso, but that the number is ‘shocking,'” Reporter Sandra Gonzalez wrote on Twitter.


5. Shooting Appears to Have ‘Nexus…To A Hate Crime’


The mass shooting in El Paso appeared to have “a nexus, at this point in time, to a hate crime,” El Paso Police Chief Gregory K. Allen said at an evening press conference.

He confirmed the existence of a manifesto, but could not directly tie it to the suspect. Emmerson Buie, FBI special agent in charge of the El Paso office, said they are reviewing evidence to determine a motive, which is too early to confirm.

Crusius reportedly told investigators he wanted to shoot as many Mexicans as possible.

Throughout the day there had been erroneous reports on social media of multiple shooters and of multiple shooting scenes. Police later said that following the arrest of Crusius, there was no further threat.

Both national and local support followed the mass shooting. The Paso Del Norte Community Foundation set up a fundraising page for victims and their families, the El Paso Victims Relief Fund.

Players at Dodger Stadium observed a moment of silence for the victims in Los Angeles.

A rally for gun control hit Washington, D.C. outside the White House with Moms Demand Action.

Statements from government officials quickly poured in on Twitter following the attack.

— Bob Moore (@BobMooreNews) August 4, 2019

El Paso County Sheriff Richard Wiles issued a statement, which said in part, “This Anglo man came here to kill Hispanics. I’m outraged and you should be too. This entire nation should be outraged.”

The victims included citizens of both Mexico and the U.S. At least three Mexicans were among the victims, according to Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.

— Andrés Manuel (@lopezobrador_) August 3, 2019

“I regret the events in El Paso, Texas, neighboring town and brother of Ciudad Juarez and our nation,” he said. “I send my condolences to the families of the victims, both American and Mexican.”

President Donald Trump wrote a statement on Twitter, calling the shooting “an act of cowardice.”

Today’s shooting in El Paso, Texas was not only tragic, it was an act of cowardice. I know that I stand with everyone in this Country to condemn today’s hateful act. There are no reasons or excuses that will ever justify killing innocent people….

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 4, 2019

Today’s shooting in El Paso, Texas was not only tragic, it was an act of cowardice. I know that I stand with everyone in this Country to condemn today’s hateful act. There are no reasons or excuses that will ever justify killing innocent people,” he wrote. “Melania and I send our heartfelt thoughts and prayers to the great people of Texas.”

State officials also wrote on Twitter about the shooting.

“In El Paso, the Texas Dept. of Public Safety is assisting local law enforcement & federal authorities to bring this tragedy to the swiftest & safest possible conclusion,” Texas Governor Greg Abbott wrote. “We thank all First Responders for their courageous response & urge all area residents to remain safe.”

Beto O’Rourke wrote about the shooting on Twitter and made a statement at a news conference.

“Truly heartbreaking. Stay safe, El Paso,” he wrote. “Please follow all directions of emergency personnel as we continue to get more updates.”

State Senator Sen. José Rodríguez shared a statement from the El Paso State Legislative Delegation.

Below is a public statement from the El Paso State Legislative Delegation regarding today’s mass shooting. #ElPasoStrong pic.twitter.com/FbY2BrN6TH

— Sen. José Rodríguez (@JoseforTexas) August 4, 2019

President Trump tweeted earlier, “Terrible shootings in ElPaso, Texas. Reports are very bad, many killed. Working with State and Local authorities, and Law Enforcement. Spoke to Governor to pledge total support of Federal Government. God be with you all!”

As all of us have, I’ve been thinking quite a lot about how to preserve our nation in the face of the “Democrats’” replacement plan. The violent approach espoused by this individual is not the way. Our Constitution and the ideals of our Founding Fathers are timeless in their simplicity and perfection (as imperfect as they are, created by imperfect beings), and speak to the human condition and its elevation. Their messages cross race, ethnicity, and all that would otherwise divide us. Fostering allegiance to our foundational doctrines will save us. The only (huge) question is to how to go about doing that in a peaceful fashion, if that is at all possible.

This is also a mental health issue. Approximately 5 people are murdered every single day by the hands of the mentally ill. The type of weapons used are sometimes guns but likely knives, blunt instruments and bare hands. And yet people only react to mass shootings.

Here in NJ Americans lost those jobs as well; one I know personally was let go because he couldn’t speak Spanish (to supervise the illegals who took his job).

There is no job immigrants do that Americans haven’t done at some time or other; we’re at a point where the jobs aren’t even offered to Americans - they cling to their weekends and lunch breaks...

Editors should consider using other ways to describe any leftover writings of mass murderers besides the term
“Manifesto”. That term tends to add a layer of significance and power that would not be present if the terms
“Journal, Diary or Private Blog” were used instead.”

I know it comes from the ultimate and most infamous manifesto, that being Mein Kampf. All the more reason not to use it here. For some twisted individuals with ego problems, that association only adds to the allure.

The guy's views in one shape or another are mostly shared by millions. The only thing really crazy about the guy is his so-called remedy - to walk into a Wal-Mart and start shooting people.

Totally true, and I think the guy's delusional thought that the action he carried out would somehow improve the situation shows that we're dealing with some sort of mental illness here. What he did will harm and set back efforts to have sensible immigration law enforcement.

This seems to be a pattern in the motivation of some of the mass murderers. The nut who killed nine members of the black church in Charleston thought he would set off some sort of race war that would bring about the objectives he wanted.

Such people are delusional to the point of insanity.

He could have killed as many Mexicans as possible by shooting up a Mexican grocery store in his own town. But that would not fit the deep state narrative.

That’s right! This whole think reeks of utter BS. I read his whole manifesto and it seems just too much of a setup to make Trump look bad. I assume in the next few days people will dig up more info on this nut. Right now the left is taking a huge risk opening their mouths before all the facts are out such as Butthead O’Rourke blaming this on Trump and once again tagging Trump as racist and Nazi.

There is some kind of crisis going on and I think it is mental health, spurred on by the isolation of the internet and the rage that it boils in people’s minds. There has also been a troubling diminishing of faith.

Society is moving faster now than most humans. People get left out, this guy sounds like a loner from the beginning and never participated, in anything. Not working, not contributing, then the invasion of illegals can serve as the scapegoat for why his life is failing. All delusional and all in his own mind, but to be honest it is a lot of what the internet and cable news spits out all day. They sell negativity, and if you don’t plug in, your outlook on life and America will be totally different, much more positive.

There is no white male terror conspiracy, but there is a plague of despondence and agnosticism that contributes to this. Any person with a strong belief in the Judaeo-Christian God cannot do this. These are lost violent souls, who need to be returned to the world. This American society is killing babies at 40 weeks - telling the youth that life can legally be destroyed if it gets in the way of your convenience. That internalized message fuses the concept of violence against innocents as a solution to social problems. It is not a solution, it is murder, but that is the lesson being taught. There are those who will be enraged about these previous sentences. How dare I use America’s infanticide as the justification for this atrocity. But it is not a justification, it is the perverted moral lesson that Progressives think is “good” and instructive. It is an example set by the government and the law, and the universities and the media and politicians - that killing is okay.

Another problem is the constant threat of climate death, the ridiculous statement that we have 12 years left on Earth “or else there’s no turning back.” These despicable scare tactics politicians use to gain political power are breaking people who may not be mentally healthy to begin with. These hysterical frightening jeremiads that render people helpless and hopeless are not contributing to the well being of anyone. And they are not true. The grossly exaggerated threat of pollution is also wrong, misplaced, deceitful and destructive.

There are solutions. I think Christianity is a solution and these people need to be reached and included. There is a flood of toxic pollution that is not helping: The opioids, the pornography, the constant identity clashing in the media, the war on white males, the constant denigration of America’s history as a criminal racist empire, the unhinged environmental scares, the video game violence, the vast difference between skilled and unskilled labor, the mass shootings, the growing ability to malinger and avoid work, the lack of marriage and children, the utter hopelessness of modern society without a belief in God. We are becoming like the Soviet Union, where vodka was drunk like water, churches used as stables, and women averaged multiple abortions. No one wanted to be there. No one wanted to live anymore. We must confront that in America and defeat it.

I think Law Enforcement will also invest heavily in psychological profiling inside of Big Data, to our detriment. There will be an intrusion into the lives of people that will make the FISA abuse look like a Cub Scout meeting. From medicine, to school, to internet, to telecom, to businesses, to weapon ownership - there will be a need to shut the door on unhinged people getting access to severe firepower. Mental health will be the banner coming out of this.

People need to reach out to people, because now the government is going to do it and their bedside manner is awful. People need to look out for people. People need to bring others to faith, it is the primary solution and maybe the only solution
