EL PASO, Texas (AP) — A young gunman opened fire in an El Paso, Texas, shopping area packed with as many as 3,000 people during the busy back-to-school season Saturday, leaving 20 dead and more than two dozen injured.

Adriana Quezada, 39, said she was in the women’s clothing section of Walmart with her two children when she heard gunfire.
“But I thought they were hits, like roof construction,” she said of the shots.
Her 19-year-old daughter and 16-year-old son threw themselves to the ground, then ran out of the store through an emergency exit. They were not hurt, Quezada said.
She said she saw four men, dressed in black, moving together firing guns indiscriminately. Police later said they believed the suspect, who was armed with a rifle, was the only shooter.
The magazine has tape visible all over it, so presumably he had two magazines taped together for quick reloading. His t-shirt is also riding up well above his waist, so he some kind of belt on under it or something tucked in his waistband, as well as visibly bulging pockets.
“The magazine has tape visible all over it”
I think it looks like one of those tan tapco type magazines, not tape. As far as shirt, it looks like the right hand side of his shirt is tucked in. Perhaps to hide the extra magazines? Seems like you would see the butt of the magazine printing on the shirt.
The pants do not seem to be weighed down, and with even one ak mag, those pants should be weighed down as 30-40rds of 7.62 weigh quite a bit.
Also, as I noted earlier, I suggest he needed at least 3 magazines to do the damage he did. Two magazines hid on his person? Maybe, but at this point why hide the magazines? I mean if you are stepping out of your car with an AK in hand, why all the fuss about hiding the spare mags?
Which one is actually the killer?
Both are Patrick Crusius. First photo from social media. Second is FBI booking photo.
THAT’S WHAT I’M SAYING.
NO WAY THOSE ARE THE SAME GUY.
I dont believe babyface on left is just an old photo of the guy on the right. Both are about the same age.
With the child photos of Trayvon Martin, you could still see the same features that matured into the older Trayvon.
Somebody please tell me what I’m missing here???
See my # 59 and response # 83 from glenduh.
If the guy in the right is the official released mugshot, does that mean the photo on the left from social media is the wrong guy but has the same name?
But the WalMart still photos —holding the gun— look like babyface guy on the left ??
BTTT
I’m so sorry you were dragged shopping with your mom, but shopping for your wife is a whole entirely different thing! Knowing you, I’m sure that’s one extremely pleasurable experience.
Personally, I like to shop for myself, by myself. For one thing, my husband feels about shopping the way mrsmel’s husband feels about it. Plus, I like to surprise him. ;)
How far is ElPaso from the Mexican border? One would think, if immigrant invaders were the targets one wanted, all one would have to do is dig a hole near the border with lots of ammo and wait. No cops nearby. Shooting innocents in Walmart is just monstrous. Defending our border, IMO, isn’t.
We’ll never know the truth about the Vegas shooting either.
