BIG 3
1 One weekend. Two shootings. 29 people dead.
The first happened Saturday at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas. A man -- who police say had posted a "manifesto" online --killed at least 20 peopleand injured 26 others.
The store was packed with familiessearching for back-to-school deals.
When police arrived, the suspect got out of his vehicle unarmed and just walked over to them. He's been arrested and charged with capital murder. Federal authorities are treating the shooting as a case of domestic terrorism, and the gunman could face the death penalty. It's one of the10 deadliest mass shootingsin US history.
2 Just 13 hours later in an entertainment district in Dayton, Ohio a man wearing body armor approached the outside of a bar and opened fire. He killed nine people --including his own sister-- and injured at least 31 others in the attacklasting less than a minute.
Police officers on patrol nearby rushed over and killed the shooter. Authorities say they've found writings indicating the gunman had an interest in killing people. His classmatessaid he had a "hit list."A preliminary assessment of the writings did not indicate any racial or political motive.
President Trump later weighed in, telling reporters that, "Hate has no place in our country,"
Democrats and others on the left seizing on the drama of the moment to say his political rhetoric is fuelingan atmosphere that emboldens white supremacists to commit acts of violence.
