However that is speculation. I cant imagine law enforcement going easy on someone who just shot up a crowd if he was still brandishing a weapon.

"Allen, the police chief, said the shooter surrendered to officers when they approached him in Walmart."

"The El Paso shooting suspect turned himself in to motorcycle officer
From CNN’s Brian Todd and Brad Hodges

The man who authorities say shot and killed 22 people at a Walmart in El Paso on Saturday turned himself in to a police motorcycle officer, according to police Sgt. Enrique Carrillo.

The El Paso motorcycle officer who was assigned to do perimeter control at the scene said that suspect Patrick Crusius drove to his location at the intersection of Sunmount Drive and Viscount Boulevard, at which time he exited a 2012 Honda Civic, put his hands up and identified himself as the shooter, the sergeant said. The officer immediately handcuffed Crusius, and didn’t have the time to call for backup, Carrillo said.

After the suspect was handcuffed, two Texas Rangers contained the scene and secured Crusius’ vehicle"

a live hero to those who will revere him in the American racist storm trooper RW instead of a dead murderer?
