"Texas Walmart Mass Shooter Faces Sentencing for Racist Attack"

Survivors of the 2019 Texas Walmart massacre, in which 23 people were killed and 22 others wounded, addressed the white nationalist shooter, Patrick Crusius, directly at a sentencing hearing. One young victim reportedly told him, "I want you dead." The hearing, expected to last several days, allows every witness, wounded survivor, and relative of the deceased to offer impact statements. Crusius, who admitted to targeting Hispanics, pleaded guilty to 90 counts, including 23 counts of hate crime resulting in death, under a plea agreement to avoid the federal death penalty. The shooter also faces potential prosecution from the state of Texas, which could result in the death penalty.
