EL PASO, the United States, Aug. 4 (Xinhua) -- The U.S. federal government is treating a mass shooting in the U.S. state of Texas on Saturday, which killed at least 20, as a domestic terrorism case, a U.S. attorney said Sunday.

"We are treating this as a domestic terrorism case," John Bash, the U.S. attorney for the Western District of Texas, said at a media briefing.

DALLAS (AP) — About 20 minutes before the shooting started at an El Paso Walmart, a rambling screed was posted to an online message board saying the massacre was in response to an “invasion” of Hispanics coming across the southern border.

Titled “The Inconvenient Truth,” it railed against the dangers of mass immigration and warned that Hispanics will eventually take over the economy and government. The writer argued that attacking “low-security” targets was a way to “fight to reclaim my country from destruction.”
