Tragedy Strikes Texas: Remembering Victims of Recent Shootings

Military leaders have stated that Mauricio Garcia, the gunman who killed eight people at a Texas Mall on Saturday, does not qualify as a veteran according to federal regulations. Garcia spent three months in Army basic training in 2008 but was dismissed from the service before completing his training due to an “uncharacterized” mental health condition. Federal code classifies a veteran as “a person who served in the active military, naval, air, or space service, and who was discharged or released therefrom under conditions other than dishonorable.”

The shooter was terminated from the US Army training in 2008 due to a physical or mental health concern. Twitter has been criticised for allowing graphic images of the victims to circulate for hours.

Gunman's Army background and social media activity raise concerns before Texas mall shooting.

Social media posts on a page that appears to belong to the suspected gunman of the Allen Premium Outlets shooting, Mauricio Garcia, suggest that he may have scouted the mall before the attack. Investigators are examining activity on the Russian social networking site OK.ru in connection to the investigation. The evidence suggests the shooter subscribed to a “mish-mash” of ideologies that have led investigators to treat this as a case of homegrown violent extremism, that may have been ethnically or racially motivated. GoFundMe has launched a centralized hub for all verified fundraisers related to the shooting.
