Posts show mall gunman researched attack, had Nazi tattoos

New details emerged yesterday about the gunman who killed eight people over the weekend after opening fire at a mall in the suburbs of Dallas, Texas. The gunman, who was killed by police, was reportedly discharged from the US Army after three months in 2008 due to mental health issues.
The man accused of killing eight people and wounding several others in a mass shooting at a suburban Dallas shopping mall researched when it was busiest and posted photos on social media in mid-April of a store near where he ultimately started his attack.
The posts by Mauricio Garcia on a Russian social networking site suggest the 33-year-old had been planning the attack for weeks before he stepped out of a silver sedan and opened fire Saturday. Among the dead were two elementary school-age sisters, a couple and their 3-year-old son, and a security guard.
