A mass shooting took place at a Walmart store in El Paso, Texas, United States, on the morning of August 3, 2019. Twenty people were killed and at least 26 others were injured, which, as of August 3, 2019 made the shooting the deadliest of 2019 in the United States. A single gunman is suspected of committing the shooting. He was apprehended by police shortly afterward and arrested. An ongoing FBI investigation suggests the shooting may have been a hate crime or act of domestic terrorism; no charges have been filed.
The suspect, 21-year-old Patrick Crusius, was a reported follower of alt-right and pro-Donald Trump content on social media. Police believe that the suspect published a white nationalist manifesto online immediately before the attack. The apparent manifesto was anti-immigration and cited inspiration from the Christchurch mosque shootings and made reference to the white genocide conspiracy theory as motivation for the attack.
