And if you are a female, don’t worry, I have plenty of money.”

ABC News reported that Garcia was discharged from the US Army in 2008 due to mental health concerns. Law enforcement sources also informed ABC News that investigators are examining the possibility of the shooter’s attack being an act of domestic terrorism.
Authorities are additionally investigating Garcia’s white supremacist views, as evident from his social media accounts.
He was seen wearing a patch with the acronym “RWDS” during the attack, which stands for “Right Wing Death Squad,” a phrase commonly associated with white supremacist groups, according to a law enforcement source cited by the Associated Press.
Garcia, who resided with his parents and had no prior criminal history, had reportedly booked an extended stay at a nearby motel.
