El Paso Walmart shooter sentenced to 90 life sentences

The Texas man who killed 23 people at a Walmart in El Paso, was sentenced to 90 consecutive life sentences on Friday. 

The man, Patrick Crusius, pleaded guilty to all the federal counts, including 45 hate crimes, NBC News reports. 

In 2019, Crusius drove all the way from north Texas to El Paso, where he opened fire on shoppers at a Walmart. 

The Justice Department said that just minutes before the attack, he wrote hate-filled statements on social media, referring to an “invasion” of immigrants in the United States. 

Besides 23 people being killed, 22 people were also injured in the attack.
