After El Paso shooting, some Texas Republican leaders decry "white" terror

from Texas Tribune Audio · host Texas Tribune Audio

A mass shooting at a Walmart in this border city killed 20 people and left more than two dozen others injured Saturday, and police arrested a 21-year-old North Texas man who they said may have written a manifesto revealing that the crime was racially motivated. Land Commissioner George P. Bush linked the shooting with "white terrorism," while U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz called it a "heinous act of terrorism and white supremacy." Police say the suspect is a white male in his 20s from the Dallas area who was arrested without incident. Police are investigating whether it was a hate crime. www.texastribune.org
