El Paso Shooting
On West Texas Talk, Diana Nguyen and Carlos Morales talk about the shooting in El Paso, which was just one of three that took place within the span of a week.
The two were in El Paso covering the tragedy that's left 22 people dead and dozens more injured. The shooting suspect, a 21-year-old white male from North Texas, opened fire Saturday morning, reportedly targeting only Hispanics. He's believed to have written a 2,300-word manifesto filled with racist and white supremacist language.
The mass shooting in El Paso is one of the deadliest in Texas history.
