2:16Now PlayingIn El Paso, the suspected gunman of a mass shooting that claimed 20 lives has been identified as a 21-year-old white man who lived 600 miles away in a suburb of Dallas. Shortly before the attack in El Paso, the gunman posted an anti-immigrant manifesto on the far-right message board 8chan. Some of the language in the manifesto echoed remarks by President Trump, including his use of the word "invasion" to describe immigrants crossing the southern border. Community leader Fernando Garcia reacts to the mass shooting: "What we saw was an attack against a symbol. El Paso has been a symbol of resistance against what Trump represents."
