CNN —
The country is grieving yet again in the aftermath of a mass shooting – this time at an outlet mall in Texas after a gunman, who is suspected to have ties to white supremacist ideology, shot and killed eight people and wounded at least seven others.
Law enforcement identified Mauricio Garcia, 33, as the gunman in Saturday’s shooting in Allen – a suburb 25 miles north of Dallas.
A witness’ dashcam video shows the moment Garcia got out of his car and immediately began firing, ambushing unsuspecting employees, shoppers and families with small children.
Garcia was killed on scene by an Allen police officer who was on a call nearby when the shooting started.
Authorities have not announced a possible motive.
Here’s what we know about the gunman:
Details of the gunman’s background have begun to surface and investigators are considering whether he may have been driven by right-wing extremism, a senior law enforcement source familiar with the investigation tells CNN.
Garcia was wearing an insignia that authorities believe may be associated with extremist groups, the source said.
Investigators have unearthed an extensive social media presence, including neo-Nazi and White supremacist-related posts and images that authorities believe Garcia shared online, according to the source.
