Already facing capital murder charges, the alleged gunman who killed 22 people at a Walmart store in El Paso, Texas, in August 2019 was hit with federal hate crimes on Thursday, according to a source familiar with the case.
He is accused of being the sole gunman to carry out the Aug. 3 killing rampage that federal authorities investigated as an act of"domestic terrorism," meaning the suspect was allegedly intent on"coercing and intimidating a civilian population," officials said. Law enforcement officials told ABC News that Crusius cased the Walmart, going inside without any weapons, apparently to size up the clientele inside the store, which is about 5 miles from the U.S.-Mexico border.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.
