18 dead. We haven’t lost as many people fighting a war in Afghanistan this year as we just did this afternoon. The people we lost today weren’t fighting a war. They were shopping.
“Gang-related terrorism” being referred to by @KFOX14 in El Paso. This is unusual. Police briefing momentarily.
El Paso police briefing: more than 10 dead, fewer than 18 reported earlier. No confirmation as to “gang-related terrorism” reported earlier. No confirmation of one shooter, but only one in custody. Site secure, situation fluid.
Update from @CBSNews: 19 dead, 40 wounded in El Paso.
Thread. @mattdpearce at @latimes has some questions about El Paso that need answering. Common sense stuff, really, though if law enforcement is “struggling” with white-right extremism it hasn’t seemed to be struggling very hard up to now.
This from Robert Evans at @bellingcat is in the @mattdpearce thread I link to above, but deserves emphasis. Evans’ theory about the “gamification of terror” sounds too stupid for words — except he’s got a whole bunch of evidence behind it. bellingcat.com/news/americas/…
