After the shooting at a shopping center in the US state of Texas that killed eight people, more details about the suspected shooter are coming out. The 33-year-old is said to have shared right-wing extremist and misogynist messages on a Russian social network, various American media reported on Monday. He also published photos of a shirtless man’s upper body with a large swastika tattooed on his heart. The American broadcaster CNN reported that the researchers assumed that the profile was authentic. They gave no official information about the motive for the crime. They investigated a far-right motivation for the crime, US media wrote.

The man was released from the army in 2008 after three months because of psychological problems, the Washington Post wrote, among others. He would also have shared photos of his guns and the mall online. He had moved out of the family home a few weeks ago. According to reports, he was staying at a hotel nearby before the crime. According to US President Joe Biden, the attacker used an AR-15 assault rifle in the attack. This weapon is particularly commonly used in such crimes in the US.

In the bloody crime scene at a busy mall in the Dallas town of Allen, the suspected shooter killed eight people on Saturday before being shot dead by a police officer. Several people were injured. Several children are among the victims. Since the beginning of this year, nearly 6,400 people have been killed by gun violence in the US alone, according to the nongovernmental organization Gun Violence Archive. (SDA)
