What we know about the slain Texas mall massacre suspect Mauricio Garcia (NBC)

DALLAS - The gunman who killed at least eight people and wounded a half-dozen more at a Dallas-area outlet mall was identified Sunday as a 33-year-old suspected neo-Nazi sympathizer named Mauricio Garcia, two senior law enforcement officials told NBC News.

Garcia was killed after the outbreak of deadly violence Saturday by a police officer who happened to be at the Allen Premium Outlets, some 25 miles north of Dallas, police said.

Garcia, who lived in Dallas, was armed with an "AR-15 style assault weapon," President Joe Biden said.

The slain suspect was wearing a tactical vest and was also armed with a handgun, one of the senior law enforcement officials said.

Calling him a neo-Nazi sypathizer moves him multiple degrees of separation from what he is.

Nazi
MAGA
Republican
Skinhead
Racist
Bigot
Fascist

These are all accurate terms for the same set of people.
