Gunman who killed 23 in racist attack at Texas Walmart given 90 life sentences

Police say the shooter drove more than 700 miles from his home to target Hispanic people with an AK-style assault rifle at the store

A white gunman who killed 23 people in a racist attack on Hispanic shoppers at a Walmart in a Texas border city was sentenced on Friday to 90 consecutive life sentences but could still face more punishment, including the death penalty.

Patrick Crusius, 24, pleaded guilty earlier this year to nearly 50 federal hate crime charges in the 2019 mass shooting in El Paso, making it one of the US government's largest hate crime cases.
