BOB PRICE and LANA SHADWICK 3 Aug 2019

Police in El Paso, Texas, report there may be multiple shooters in an active shooter situation at a local Walmart and shopping mall area.

KFOX14 reports the shooting began inside the Walmart and the shooter continued firing in the parking lot. He then went to the nearby Dillards store.

UPDATE 1:10 p.m.: A spokesman for the El Paso Police Department said there is not an active shooter at this time but the scene has not been rendered safe. Comment made during a press conference. A “reunification center” has been set up at a nearby school. He stated they are working two separate crime scenes.

UPDATE 1:05 p.m.: KFOX14 reports two active shooters — one in custody — and at least ten fatalities. More ambulances are still arriving on the scene.

UPDATE 1:00 p.m.: The El Paso Sheriff’s Office reports multiple but unspecified fatalities but that there is no longer a threat in the area. One person has been arrested alive in connection with the shooting.

UPDATE 12:55 p.m.: Photo shows police helping blood-covered woman in the El Paso shooting.

UPDATE 12:50 p.m.: KTSM reports that El Paso Mayor Dee Margo confirmed three fatalities at the Cielo Vista Walmart.

UPDATE 12:40 p.m.: The El Paso Times reports a police officer saying that 18 adults and four children may have been killed. This number has not been confirmed. University Medical Center officials report receiving multiple victims from the shooting — no numbers available at this time.

So the Mayor said three suspects in custody. Rare that mass shooters get taken alive at the point of impact. Usually it means they had some kind of statement to make and wanted to survive to make it. Especially rare that three did. Of course this is early and we know how these situations evolve.
 
They claim multiple shooters every single time. Don’t think it’s ever been true, unless it’s an ISIS attack somewhere in another country.

UPDATE: 1:46 p.m. — KTSM can confirm through a law enforcement source that this photo is of the shooter as they entered the Walmart show at Cielo Vista this morning around 10 a.m.

Governor going all out: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-49221936

Texas state Governor Greg Abbott said the attack was "a heinous and senseless act of violence".

"We have deployed troopers, special agents, Texas Rangers, tactical teams, and aircraft to the scene in a support role," he said. "The state of Texas will do everything it can to ensure justice is delivered to the perpetrators".

Hooters and Red Lobster are on lockdown.

Young man wearing shooting glasses and ear protection. (I see somebody also just saw the photo). Practicing safe gun usage (but ignoring "don't point your weapon at people").

Since when do gang members wear safety glasses and ear protection? This one is already starting to smell.

"Gang related" would seem to be inaccurate. Early on in things people are usually just guessing. Things change as more facts come it.
 
Never waste a crisis, Beto O'Rourke pleads for Gun Control.

When he was later asked by the moderators about his gun control stance, the former congressman called for universal background checks and a stop on the sale of military-style weapons.

“Keep that shit on the battlefield. Do not bring it into our communities,” O’Rourke said.

Shortly before O’Rourke appeared on stage, police in Texas responded to reports of multiple active shooters at a Walmart near the Cielo Vista Mall in El Paso. Initial reports suggested that at least 18 people were shot.

The scene was still active as O’Rourke spoke in Las Vegas. The Democrat noted that he heard reports that a military-style weapon may have been used.

O’Rourke later added that it would take “direct action and urgency, and nonviolent, in some cases civil disobedience” to force U.S. lawmakers “to do the right thing.”

Good thing he got in front of this while the scene was still active. This adds credibility to his message. :rolleyes:
