The man who killed eight people and injured seven more in a shooting in Allen was armed with eight weapons and had 'neo-Nazi ideation,' Texas DPS officials said. | via keranews
Riley Barham, Brie Etheridge and Marina Martinez hug in a circle at the memorial for the victims of Saturday’s shooting Monday, May 8, 2023, at Allen Premium Outlets in Allen.
Mauricio Garcia, 33, was carrying three weapons on his person and had five more in his car, all legally obtained, according to DPS Regional Director Hank Sibley. He also prominently displayed racist and Nazi iconography, he said. But while Sibley acknowledged Garcia's racist beliefs, he stopped short of prescribing it as a motive.
Sibley also confirmed Garcia was a Dallas resident who had joined the U.S. Army in 2008. Garcia was discharged in the midst of his basic training for reasons because he was"not a fit," but Sibley said why is still part of their investigation. Garcia had no criminal history, Sibley said, but had a private security license that was expired.
