Texas Shooting Designated As Domestic Terrorism
- 5 years ago
The US federal government is treating the El Paso shooting that killed 20 people as a "domestic terrorist" case.
US Attorney John Bash says the FBI is investigating the attack with a view toward bringing federal hate crime charges.
The suspect posted an online scree expressing concern that an influx of Hispanics into the US will replace aging white voters.
He feared such a demographic shift could turn Texas blue in elections and swing the White House to the Democrats.
