Federal agents are probing whether the Texas mall shooter who killed eight people Saturday afternoon held neo-Nazi views, according to a law enforcement official.
The feds are scanning the gunman Mauricio Garcia’s reported social media accounts which spouted off white supremacist and neo-Nazi views as they attempt to figure out a motive for the massacre, the official told The Associated Press Sunday.
During the twisted shooting, Garcia, 33, also wore a patch on his chest with the acronym “RWDS” which stands for “Right Wing Death Squad” – a popular phrase among white-supremacy groups, according to the official who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
Authorities have interviewed relatives and associates of Garcia, who was shot and killed by police at the mall, about his ideological beliefs, the official said.
