Suspects
Hello, earlier on, there were many reports of 3 suspects in custody but now, most references say just 1. Is this true? Willbb234 (talk) 20:20, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
Name of the shooter
I'm not active, regular editor so I don't feel qualified to make significant changes to main page. However, KTSM.com just posted this: "NBC News and KTSM have confirmed the identity of the suspect in police custody as 21-year-old Patrick Crusius from Allen, Texas."[1] (ps not sure how to insert my id ~ lezelmaz)
- It's four tildes grouped together, like this: "~~~~" . David O. Johnson (talk) 21:57, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
It's pretty obvious who the shooter is. Can we put the name down if we source to a reliable source? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.71.89.118 (talk) 20:44, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
- If you can source it with a valid reference, go ahead. puggo (talk) 20:51, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
- Just make sure that the source is certain the source you cite must be relaible and can NOT be speculative in nature. I would advise waiting for an official statement which will be cover by all major news outlets if and when the information is released. SSSB (talk) 20:54, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
8chan circulating 4 page summary
Hello, The 4 page summary/justification was on the article as a reference. Why was it removed? Willbb234 (talk) 20:55, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
- Could you give a link to the reference in question? puggo (talk) 21:03, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
- Bug2266 "The Inconvenient Truth" (PDF). 8chan. Retrieved 3 August 2019.. Just realised its a primary source, so don't worry. Willbb234 (talk) 21:08, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
Recommend hasty removal of manifesto since it advocates violence. Also, it is unconfirmed. JimsMaher (talk) 21:22, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
- WP:DISC? If that was the motivation of the shooter, then it should be included. Willbb234 (talk) 21:26, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
Has it been confirmed in any way? JimsMaher (talk) 21:43, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
- According to CNN, an online posting is being investigated by law enforcement but they have not confirmed that it was written by the suspect. –dlthewave ☎ 21:50, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
Express source
The Express source is being used to source the number of deaths. The source is rather vague, so I don’t think it should be used. Thoughts? Willbb234 (talk) 21:32, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
- probably should not use a uk source for a us incident... --24.56.54.84 (talk) 21:37, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
Patrick Crusius just confirmed by spokesman Robert Gomez
Why does it keep being removed as the shooter? --CoryGlee (talk) 21:59, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

Suspect
Early reports—including from El Paso mayor Dee Margo—suggested that there may have been more than one shooter. El Paso police have since said that they believe the shooter acted alone. He has been apprehended and is currently in custody.
In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, multiple people were taken into custody. Since then, police have identified the suspect as 21-year-old Patrick Crusius, who appears to have graduated from Plano High School in 2017, and who turned 21 last week. Because this is still early, it’s very likely that we’ll get more information about the shooter soon. We won’t link to it here, but by late afternoon on Saturday, a racist “manifesto” indicating a desire to kill immigrants and reportedly penned by the shooter began circulating on social media. 67.98.222.36 (talk) 22:09, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
Weapon
The weapon was apparently an AK-47 style AR according to a video here--> https://www.cbsnews.com/news/el-paso-walmart-shooting-today-police-confirm-active-shooter-cielo-vista-mall-today-2019-08-03-live-updates/, but it keeps getting reverted. Thanks, EDG 543 (talk) 22:30, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
