[ck4829]

ALLEN — The gunman who opened fire on an outlet mall in this Dallas suburb Saturday, killing at least eight people, was a man in his early 30s who may have had white supremacist or neo-Nazi beliefs, people familiar with the investigation said Sunday.

Mauricio Garcia had multiple weapons on him and in his nearby car, said people familiar with the investigation who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the ongoing probe.

Authorities have not released a motive, but a patch on his chest said “RWDS,” an acronym that stands for Right Wing Death Squad, according to people familiar with the investigation. The phrase is popular among right wing extremists, neo-Nazis and white supremacists, they said. In addition to the weapons found on his body, investigators found another five guns inside his car nearby, these people said.

The shooter also injured at least seven people before a police officer who was at the mall on an unrelated call fatally shot him at about 3:30 p.m., Allen Police Chief Brian Harvey said Saturday. Authorities believe that the gunman acted alone and that there were no further threats, Harvey said.

1. And those beliefs were no doubt fed by hate talk radio, Fox News, and social media sites fed his ..

... mental delusions. And how did a man kicked out of the army for being unstable get an assault rifle?

2. The only question is was he GOP

or was he so far that he hated them as "too liberal"? Sorry guy shoots up a place with military weapons and has big Tattoos of a Swastika and the SS logo, we know he was right wing. So the only questions are who made the guns, who sold them and who was he associated with?
