The 21-year-old white male from a Dallas-area neighborhood was placed on a suicide watch today under the recommendation of medical staff at the jail.
EL PASO, Texas - The man charged in the El Paso Walmart mass shooting is on suicide watch, authorities say.
The gunman, a 21-year-old white male from a Dallas-area neighborhood, has been in custody since Aug. 3 without bond shortly after the shooting, according to a police affidavit. The U.S. Attorney's Office is also investigating the case with the possibility of filing federal hate crime and domestic terrorism charges against the shooter, according to John Bash, of the Western District of Texas.
"When he saw the officers approaching the scene where he was at, he basically surrendered," Allen said.
