Multiple law enforcement agencies responded to an active shooter situation at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, on Saturday where at least 20 people were killed, according to local and national media reports.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) said that 20 people were confirmed killed, and 26 more were injured in the shooting, according to Fox News and NBC News.
One person was taken into custody, police said, adding that they did not believe there were other suspects at the scene or elsewhere. The suspect was said to be a 18-year-old man. A manifesto obtained by The Hill reportedly posted online by the shooter was filled with racist and hate-filled speech about the rate of immigration in America and Texas in particular, and linked such issues to elites in both the Democratic Party and GOP.
