Shooter Believed He Was Fulfilling Trump’s Wishes
March 31, 2025 at 5:30 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard

“Patrick Crusius believed he was acting at the direction of President Donald Trump when he murdered 23 people and wounded 22 others at an El Paso Walmart in 2019,” El Paso Matters reports.

Said defense attorney Joe Spencer: “He thought he had to stop the invasion because that’s what his president was telling him… He thought, if he doesn’t do it, then nobody’s going to do it. He’s got to start.”
