"Nazi tattoos and peak hour research: Allen mall shooting suspect's disturbing past"

The suspect in the Allen, Texas mall shooting had Nazi tattoos and researched when the mall was busiest before carrying out the attack, which killed eight people and wounded several others. His online activity also revealed a fascination with white supremacy and mass shootings. The gunman was discharged from the Army in 2008 due to mental health issues and apparently had been working as a security guard. Federal agents investigating the shooting have reviewed the online posts, and investigators are examining his financial records and other electronic media to determine his ideological beliefs. Amid protests for stricter gun control, two Republicans sided with Democrats to advance a bill that would raise the age to buy semiautomatic rifles from 18 to 21.
