Texas Outlet Mall Shooting Sparks Calls for Gun Control and Mourning for Victims

Details of the Texas outlet mall shooter's background have emerged, including extremist social media postings and an insignia associated with extremist groups. Investigators are considering whether he may have been driven by right-wing extremism. The gunman, identified as Mauricio Garcia, killed eight people and wounded at least seven others before being killed by police. Garcia had worked for at least three security companies and had undergone hours of firearms proficiency training in recent years. Private security guards in Texas undergo background checks and are disqualified if they have committed certain crimes.
