El Paso: The suspect accused of killing 22 people in a mass shooting at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, has confessed that his motive was to massacre Mexicans, according to an arrest affidavit. "I'm the shooter," the affidavit quoted Patrick Crusius as saying when he surrendered to police after pulling over and exiting his car at an intersection near the Walmart that was the scene of the massacre on August 3.

The affidavit, drawn up by El Paso police detective Adrian Garcia, said that Crusius, 21, waived the right to an attorney and agreed to talk to the officers. The shooter told police that he drove more than 10 hours from his home in Allen, Texas, near Dallas, with an assault rifle and a large quantity of ammunition. "The defendant stated once inside the store, he opened fire using his AK-47, shooting multiple victims," according to the affidavit.
