El Paso Shooter Allegedly Posted Manifesto on Controversial Site 8Chan
August 5, 2019
Twenty minutes before embarking on a shooting spree in El Paso, Texas, that killed at least 22 people, the suspect apparently announced his grim plans on the controversial message board 8chan. Police believe Patrick Crusius, 21, posted a manifesto detailing his apparent rationale and writing he had to “do this before I lose my nerve.” Crusius is the third accused gunman to post on 8chan in advance of a shooting. The site has been described as a "go-to resource for violent extremists."
