Already facing capital murder charges, the alleged gunman who killed 22 people at a Walmart store in Texas was hit with federal hate crimes on Thursday, according to a source familiar with the case.
After seeing the 1,000 to 3,000 people that police estimate were inside at the time, Crusius exited the store and allegedly armed himself, officials said. He returned wearing protective ear muffs, safety glasses and wielding a high-powered assault-style rifle, according to video surveillance of him inside the store.
File photo: Texas State Troopers keep watch on Aug. 6, 2019, at the makeshift memorial for victims of the shooting that left a total of 22 people dead on Aug. 3 at the Cielo Vista Mall WalMart in El Paso, Texas. Weeks before the shooting, Crusius' mother contacted police to express concern over her son owning an assault rifle due to his age, maturity level and lack of experience, the family's attorneys, Chris Ayres and R. Jack Ayres, told ABC News in August.
