A gunman who confessed to targeting people of Mexican descent in a mass shooting at a Texas Walmart that left 22 people dead has pleaded guilty to dozens of hate crimes, federal authorities say.
Joe Spencer, a lawyer for Crusius, said Wednesday that his client “has been trying to accept responsibility” since the shooting and is “glad he was finally able to do so.”
In charging documents, federal authorities said the shooter posted a document online prior to the massacre that described the attack as a response to a"Hispanic invasion of Texas.”
