The suspect in the El Paso, Texas, mass shooting has been placed on suicide watch.
Patrick Crusius, who has been charged with killing 22 people and wounding dozens more in a Walmart, was put under watch on Monday at the recommendation of jail medical staff, the El Paso County Sherriff’s Office told the El Paso Times.
Crusius, 21, was arrested Aug. 3 and is being held without bond on capital murder charges. Police said Crusius surrendered and admitted to shooting dozens, according to the arrest affidavit.
Police Chief Greg Allen said after the arrest that Crusius was cooperating with police but had shown no remorse and “appears to be in a state of shock and confusion.”
Crusius, who is white, is believed to have authored an anti-immigrant manifesto before the mass shooting.
