Purported online writings
Investigators believe the shooting suspect posted a document on online message board 8chan.
The 2,300-word document, which police called a "manifesto," was attached to a post that said, "I'm probably going to die today."
The writing is filled with white nationalist language and racist hatred toward immigrants and Latinos, blaming immigrants and first-generation Americans for taking away jobs.
The writer cites a fear that an influential Hispanic population in Texas would make the state a "Democratic stronghold," though he said "the Republican Party is also terrible," because the GOP is in his mind pro-corporation, which can lead to more immigration.
The writer of the document said they held these beliefs for years, before Trump was elected president.
The author says it took less than a month to plan the shooting.
