El Paso Walmart Mass Shooting Incident
Patrick Crusius 24 years old pleaded guilty to 90 charges in connection with shooting 23 people to death and injuring dozens more at El Paso Walmart mass shooting on August 3, 2019. A sentencing date is also set this June 30, 9 AM at the Albert Armendariz Sr. Federal Courthouse in Downtown El Paso with U.S. District Court Judge David C. Guaderrama presiding.
The admitted white supremacist is facing life in federal prison. Moreover, the US Attorney’s Office decided not to pursue the death penalty against Crusius.
El Paso Times reported that Patrick Crusius just went to El Paso to attack shoppers on a Saturday morning grocery store visit and once he was there at the place he then uploaded a racist rant online declaring, “This attack is a reaction to the Hispanic invasion of Texas and I am only defending my homeland from cultural and ethnic replacement carried on by an invasion.
Crusius uses a semi-automatic assault-type rifle before surrendering to authorities near the busy grocery store.
