SEARCH HOMEPAGE U.S. News MASS SHOOTING KILLS 22 AT EL PASO WALMART: GUNMAN ‘STARTED SHOOTING EVERYONE, AISLE BY AISLE,’ WITNESS SAYS NIGHTMARE Feds consider terrorism charges for man who wrote racist manifesto against Hispanic people before a rampage near the U.S.-Mexico border. JORDYN ROZENSKY JUSTIN HAMEL ANNA KAPLAN Breaking News Reporter Updated Aug. 05, 2019 6:08PM ET / Published Aug. 03, 2019 1:51PM ET JUSTIN HAMEL/THE DAILY BEAST EL PASO, Texas—A lone gunman allegedly seeking to murder Hispanic people killed at least 22 people inside a crowded Walmart near the U.S.-Mexico border on Saturday morning, according to eyewitnesses and officials. At least 22 people were transported to area hospitals, where one later died. Government officials in Mexico City said at least seven of the dead are Mexican nationals. Police took 21-year-old Patrick Crusius of Allen, Texas, into custody at the scene and prosecutors charged him Monday with capital murder. Authorities say he wrote a manifesto posted online shortly before the attack that used white-supremacist rhetoric to justify violence against Hispanic people. “A day that would’ve been a normal day for someone to leisurely go shopping turned into one of the most deadly days in the history of Texas,” Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said Sunday. JUSTIN HAMEL/THE DAILY BEAST More than a thousand people were inside the Walmart near the Cielo Vista Mall when the shooting started around 11 a.m. A woman named Karina, who declined to give her last name, said she was driving in the parking lot with her 7-year-old daughter when she saw a white man in his twenties in front of the store’s main entrance, dressed in all black and carrying a long rifle. Karina said she heard what sounded like “balloons popping” and saw the gunman shoot another man at “point-blank” range. Then the gunman entered the store, as captured by surveillance footage. Miguel Rodriguez said he was shopping for a toy for his 7-year-old son when he heard gunshots and ducked to the ground. He said a person “started shooting everyone, aisle by aisle, with rage.” JUSTIN HAMEL/THE DAILY BEAST Britney, a 19-year-old who declined to give her last name, said she was with her 16-year-old brother and her mother in the store’s underwear aisle when she heard shooting. The family dropped to the ground. Then Britney said she grabbed her mother and brother’s hands and they ran out of the store. Dozens of people who were evacuated from inside the mall lined up on a nearby street. A man carrying a Bible went from group to group, asking people to pray with him. JUSTIN HAMEL/THE DAILY BEAST Law-enforcement officials promised justice for the victims. “We will seek the death penalty,” El Paso Country District Attorney Jaime Esparza said at a press conference Sunday. The top federal prosecutor in El Paso said his office was “seriously considering” hate-crime and federal firearms charges. “We are treating it as a domestic terrorism case, and we’re gonna do what we do to terrorists in this country, which is deliver swift and certain justice,” said John Bash, the U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Texas. Crusius had no criminal record prior to the attack, authorities said. “Technically,” said El Paso Police Chief Greg Allen, Crusius “was in the realm of the law” until the moment he opened fire, because Texas is an open-carry state when it comes to guns. * THE RACIST LIE BEHIND THE EL PASO TERRORIST ATTACK HATE CANON KELLY WEILL Hours after the shooting on Saturday night, as authorities continued the grim task of sifting through the scene of the carnage, many El Paso residents chose to come together at a vigil just a few miles from the attack. “I didn’t have to lose someone to hurt,” Ashley, one of the attendants at the vigil at St Pius X Church, told The Daily Beast. She said El Paso, which ordinary feels so safe, felt like chaos today. Another attendee, Victor Lopez, said he’d been at Walmart with his family on Saturday morning but left before the gunfire erupted. He decided to attend the vigil, he said, to honor the people who weren’t so lucky. Other residents said some people affected by the attack in the predominantly Hispanic city were afraid to go to hospitals or the reunification center designated by authorities for fear that their immigration status would come under scrutiny. The El Paso shooting is the latest in a series of deadly attacks on public places. On Monday, a disgruntled employee killed two people in a Walmart store in Mississippi. Last Sunday, a gunman killed three people and injured 15 at the Gilroy Garlic Festival near San Jose, California. In May, a gunman killed 12 people at a municipal building in Virginia Beach. The month before, on the last day of Passover in April, a vocal anti-Semite allegedly attacked a synagogue in Poway, California, killing one person. Then on Sunday, a gunman in Dayton, Ohio, killed nine people. READ THIS LIST SHE WAS A CHILD BRIDE.

This week: * A reminder that some things this year were actually nice. * Your weekly And Just Like That… update. * A trip down memory lane. * Patti LuPone comes out as having diarrhea. * And Katy Perry unveils her giant toilet. And Just Like That… Is Getting Good! And Just Like That… manages to be both the cringiest thing currently airing on TV and also brilliant, a major accomplishment that has earned the Sex and the City sequel status as the TV series I currently most look forward to each week. [Insert Marie Kondo’s “I love mess” gif.] And this week’s episode was it’s cringiest and most brilliant one yet. It’s also the one that felt most like a classic episode of Sex and the City. (Warning: Spoilers ahead.) Listen, everything to do with Sara Ramirez’s character’s woke gender podcast and her stand-up “concert” (whatever the hell that means) are embarrassing to the point of unwatchable, and not even fun. That said, it led to two of the most consequential plot twists. I hadn’t banked on two of And Just Like That…’s most obvious and inelegant storylines evolving into something so profound. They were really hitting us over the head with Miranda’s alcoholism and the foreshadowing that she would have a lesbian affair with Ramirez’s Che. But when it all came to a head in this week’s episode, which featured the world’s most traumatizing sex scene—fingering and pee, all in one sequence!—it coalesced into one of the more meaningful moments of the series. Cynthia Nixon and Sarah Jessica Parker were spectacular in the scene, which has Miranda having to answer for her drinking, her affair, and neglecting her friend. That’s why I have and will always defend this series. Sure, the quality of the episodes have been all over the place. But there is something magical and irresistible about these actors in these roles with that chemistry that, even with Kim Cattrall’s absence (I loved the way that plot line progressed this week, and that they keep mentioning her instead of ignoring her), makes watching them together again so satisfying. Things I Can’t Believe Actually Happened This Year There is a thread that went viral on Twitter this week that is a recap of all the events that happened this year that, even if for a day, absolutely dominated the news cycle—the biggest news of the time that was completely forgotten about in a matter of weeks. GIPHY The Armie Hammer cannibal thing? That was this year, folks. The whole thing where people were gobbling up GameStop stock? Yep, that too. You cannot convince me that the lawyer who accidentally had a cat filter on his Zoom call was in 2021 and not several years ago (apparently it was), and I refuse to acknowledge the fact that the ship got stuck in the Suez Canal not even six months ago. In any case, it’s a fun, if somewhat traumatizing memory jog through the year that seemed both endless and practically a blip in time. (Read it here.) Broadway Is Teeming With COVID and Poop New York City right now is in a really cool space where the question is no longer if you’re going to get COVID, but when. That explains the semi-crisis happening on Broadway, where cast and crew members are contracting the virus at the same rate that the rest of us are—which is to say that everyone is getting it—and shows have had to cancel performances because too many people are out. It sucks, because this spring it really did feel like Broadway and the arts were making a strong comeback, and it was enough to start defrosting our icy cynicism and feel hope for the future. Well, that was fleeting! Two major moments went viral this week, owing to these COVID-related cancellations. Hugh Jackman gave a generous and emotional speech during the curtain call for The Music Man after understudy Kathy Voytko filled in for star Sutton Foster, who had contracted COVID. Jackman paid tribute to the swings and understudies on Broadway whose contributions are often undersung and for whom the level of difficulty of their jobs far surpasses the leads whose names are on the marquee. It was a beautiful sentiment. Days later, The Music Man canceled several upcoming performances because Jackman himself tested positive. Then there was Patti LuPone, who was defending the revival of Company against rumors that the show’s own cancellations were due to COVID. In fact, that was not the case. It is because LuPone was among several cast members who had explosive diarrhea. “My toilet can confirm this,” she said in a statement—just about as iconic a moment as we’ve had in this pandemic. It’s Called Art, Sweetie Katy Perry opened her Las Vegas residency this week. Here she is twerking on a mountain of toilet paper rolls next to a massive toilet from which a poo with a corn kernel for a tooth sings along to “California Gurls.” Happy New Year, everyone. What to watch this week: Queer Eye: Start the new year the same way we’ve started every day of the last one: Sobbing. (Fri. on Netflix) Abbott Elementary: The most promising new series on broadcast TV. (Tues. on ABC) Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts: These reunions are all dumb and boring, and I will watch every second of all of them. (Sat. on HBO Max) What to skip this week: Joe Millionaire: For Richer or Poorer: This show was tacky two decades ago. What are we doing here?
