El Paso suspect told police he was targeting 'Mexicans,' confessed to attack: report

The suspect in last weekend’s mass shooting in El Paso, Texas, reportedly told police he was targeting “Mexicans” and confessed to carrying out the attack when he surrendered to law enforcement.

The suspect, identified as 21-year-old Patrick Crusius, told police “I’m the shooter,” detective Adrian Garcia wrote in the arrest affidavit obtained by The Washington Post on Friday. The gunman had opened fire at a Walmart.

“The defendant stated once inside the store he opened fire using his AK-47 shooting multiple innocent victims,” Garcia said, according to the Post, adding that Crusius clarified his targets were “Mexicans.”

Crusius surrendered to police after they spotted a car stopped at an intersection near the Walmart where the shooting occurred, emerging from the vehicle with his hands in the air.
