LOS ANGELES — The man who shot eight people to death at a Dallas-area shopping mall over the weekend harbored neo-Nazi sympathies but appeared to have targeted his victims at random, without regard for race, age or sex, Texas law enforcement officials said on Tuesday (May 9).
Authorities also disclosed new details about the gunman's background. They said he was discharged from US Army basic training 15 years ago, had once worked as a private security guard and suffered from an unspecified mental illness.
Investigators recovered three firearms, including the murder weapon, from the gunman's possession, and five more from his vehicle, and Garcia had legally obtained all eight guns, according to Sibley. "To me, it looks like he targeted the location rather than a specific group of people," Mr Sibley said."He was very random in the people he killed. It didn’t matter the age, race or sex. He just shot people, which is horrific in itself."
