Straight to a Fox News alert,
police have now identified the suspect in the deadly attack
at a Texas mall on Saturday as 33 year old
Mauricio Garcia.
This is that grieving community comes together for a prayer
vigil last night to honor the 8 victims.
Todd Pyro joins us now with the latest Todd.
Yeah, that's right. Pastor John Mark Caton delivering a powerful
sermon during last night's vigil as the Allen,
TX community reels following Saturday's shooting.
So as I long for a word tonight.
The word I long for.
Is let's be a people that comforts those who mourn.
That praise for those who grieve.
That brings the oil of joy.
In the spaces of sadness.
8 victims were killed and seven others were injured in
that shooting.
The Allen Police Department says three of the injured victims
are still in critical condition fighting for their lives this
morning.
The suspected gunman, Mauricio Garcia,
reportedly did not have a serious criminal history and was
licensed to work as a Commission security guard from April
2016 to April 2020,
Texas DPS records say. He received 2 rounds of firearms
training in 2015 and 2018,
and authorities are reportedly investigating Garcia's possible radical beliefs after
he was found wearing a patch on his chest that
suggests.
He had neo-Nazi leanings. Garcia was shot and killed by
a police officer who was responding to an unrelated call
in the area.
That officer made a frantic call for backup just moments
before he encountered the suspect in the mall.
And hanging out here.
Remind me I got.
And one of the victims has been identified by family
members as 20 year old Christian Lacour,
who worked as a security guard at that mall.
Steve Ainsley. Brian, back to you.
Yeah. What about that cop man?
Imagine running full speed and counting your shooter and then
taking them out.
And it seemed like he had no other backup.
If you heard in that call.
And reports on the scene said he did it alone,
not knowing if the shooter himself was alone.
Unreal. Bravery. From that, he was there for another call
and he got to the shooter in 4 minutes.
Wow. He was in the right place at the right
time.
Todd, thank you very much.
I. I was reading, I think,
in the Daily Mail this morning,
a story about a woman who was working at another
store.
She put something like a dozen of the customers in
an interior bathroom and then went outside.
And when the cops came and freed all the people,
they passed her dead body.
She had saved their lives,
put them in that bathroom and wound up dying.
Ohh wow. Terrible.
