A massacre in El Paso, Texas, kills 20 at a shopping center. A gunman in Dayton, Ohio, kills nine in a half-minute before being shot by police. Both attacks come less than a week after a shooting at a Gilroy, California festival that left three dead.
Mourners gather at a vigil following a nearby mass shooting, Sunday, Aug. 4, 2019, in Dayton, Ohio. Multiple people in Ohio have been killed in the second mass shooting in the U.S. in less than 24 hours, and the suspected shooter is also deceased, police said.
El Paso authorities offered few details about the assault, but Police Chief Greg Allen described the scene as “horrific” and said many of the 26 people who were hurt had life-threatening injuries. Had police not responded so quickly, “hundreds of people in the Oregon District could be dead today,” Whaley said.Authorities identified the El Paso suspect as 21-year-old Patrick Crusius from Allen, a Dallas suburb which is a nearly 10-hour drive from El Paso.“It’s not what we’re about,” the mayor said at a news conference with Gov. Greg Abbott and the police chief.
