While law enforcement had not released any details about a possible motive, a local ABC News affiliate reported that investigators had found several handguns, long guns and ammunition inside the assailant's car at the scene of the shooting.
- Texas police on Sunday were investigating what motivated a 33-year-old gunman to kill at least eight people at a mall over the weekend, as President Joe Biden called for stricter gun laws.
The killings were the latest in at least 199 mass shootings that have occurred in the United States so far in 2023, according to the nonprofit group Gun Violence Archive, which defines a mass shooting as any in which four or more people are wounded or killed, not including the shooter. A family member identified one of the slain victims on social media as Christian LaCour, a security guard.
At least one of the victims, lifeless and bloody, appears to be a young child. Reuters was able to verify the video was taken at the mall where the shooting took place. Texas Governor Greg Abbott, a Republican, called the shooting "devastating" in a Sunday interview on Fox News and said the way to prevent gun violence should involve addressing mental illness.
