He lived in Allen, TX and is related to Prudence Liu, Megan Liu, Mellisa Liu, Susan David and others. Numerous officials identified the gunman as Patrick Crusius. Media outlets have said that he was "posting on 4channel" in the video below.
For footage from inside of the store, we currently were only able to find the following video:
Law enforcement is still studying the anti-immigrant manifesto posted on 8ch to figure out if it was written by the gunman. Given the 'racially extremist' views of the manifesto it could make the killings a federal hate crime or an act of domestic terrorism if officials can tie it to the shootings.
