JUST IN: At least 20 dead, more than two dozen others injured in El Paso mass shooting, officials say.
Twenty people were killed and dozens more injured on Saturday morning in a massacre at an El Paso, Texas, Walmart that was packed with back-to-school shoppers, making it one of the ten deadliest mass shootings in U.S. history, officials said.The suspect was identified by authorities as Patrick Crusius, 21, of Allen, Texas.
The majority of the victims were shot inside the Walmart, according to Gomez, which at the time contained more than 100 employees and what authorities have preliminarily estimated to be between 1,000 and 3,000 Saturday morning back-to-school shoppers. Shopper Vanessa Saenz described the shooter in an interview with ABC News Radio as dressed in cargo pants and a black t-shirt, wearing ear protectors and said he looked like he was"dancing."She then described seeing victims near the shooter who became cornered -- with nowhere to run -- and then watched the gunman raise a rifle, aim it at them and start firing.
Police initially said that there may have been"multiple shooters," but Gomez later clarified that just one person had been arrested. 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 Gov. Greg Abbott said in a tweet that the state's Department of Public Safety was responding to assist"local law enforcement & federal authorities to bring this tragedy to the swiftest and safest possible conclusion."
