Gunman kills 20 at Texas Walmart store via SABCNewsOnline

Many shoppers in the busy store were buying back-to-school supplies when they found themselves caught up in the latest US mass shooting, which came just six days after a teenage gunman killed three people at a summer food festival in Northern California.

Mexico’s President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said three Mexican nationals were among the dead, and six others were among the wounded. The images showed a young man wearing eyeglasses, khaki trousers and a dark T-shirt, wielding an assault-style rifle. He appeared to be wearing headphones or ear protection. Reuters could not immediately verify the authenticity of the images.

Local media said there was such an overwhelming response to an appeal by the police department for blood donations to help the wounded that long lines formed at medical centers, some of which had to tell would-be donors to come back on Sunday.‘PEOPLE WERE PANICKING’ She and her husband sprinted through a stock room at the back of the store before huddling with other customers in a steel container in a shipping area.Walmart said in a statement: “We’re in shock over the tragic events… We’re praying for the victims, the community & our associates, as well as the first responders.”
