Federal agents have been reviewing social media accounts that they believe Garcia used, as well as posts that expressed interest in white supremacist and neo-Nazi views, said the official, who could not discuss details of the investigation publicly and spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity. The attack happened at Allen Premium Outlets, a sprawling outdoor shopping center about 25 miles north of downtown Dallas. At least one witness said he saw what appeared to be someone in a security guard's uniform among the dead. Another said the suspected gunman appeared to be wearing all black.
Allen Police Chief Brian Harvey declined to answer questions Sunday evening, saying of the investigation, "we actually don't have a lot."
