Texas mall shooting: Heavily armed gunman identified as 33 year old
Texas authorities have named a heavily armed gunman who killed eight people including children at a Dallas shopping mall as Mauricio Garcia, aged 33.
The man, from Dallas himself, was shot dead by a police officer who was attending a different call in the area.
The gunman in Saturday's attack used an AR-15 style rifle and wore combat gear, President Joe Biden said.
Investigators quoted by US media say he may have had far-right links, as suggested by a clothing patch he wore.
Two sources told CBS News - the BBC's US partner - that the patch bore the letters RWDS, standing for "Right Wing Death Squad" - believed to be a neo-Nazi group.
Police searched a nearby hotel where Garcia was staying, as well as a home in the city, reports say. He opened fire on shoppers at the Allen Premium Outlets mall, in the north Dallas suburbs.
At least three injured victims remained in critical condition on Sunday.
Garcia also had a handgun, and more weapons and ammunition were found in his car, an investigator said.
A law-enforcement source told CBS that he used an assault weapon to gun down his victims and multiple rounds of ammunition were found on his person. He was wearing armoured ballistic gear.
Investigators are combing through social media and online accounts looking for clues as to whether he may have had links to domestic violent extremists and like-minded individuals.
