Texas Mall Shooting Sparks Calls for Change Amid Extremist Investigation

Authorities are investigating whether the gunman who killed eight people and wounded seven others at a Texas outlet mall on Saturday was motivated by domestic violent extremist ideals. The gunman has been identified as Mauricio Garcia, 33, and was heavily armed and appeared to be on a mission. Investigators are combing through the suspect's social media and online accounts looking for clues to see whether he may have had links to violent extremists and like-minded individuals. The shooter had a patch on his clothing with the letters "RWDS," which stands for "Right Wing Death Squad" — believed to be a right-wing neo-Nazi group.
