In the US, two more victims of the shooting rampage at a Walmart store in El Paso, Texas died of their wounds on Monday, raising the death toll to 22 in a massacre that prosecutors say was an act of domestic terrorism.
The latest fatalities brings to 31 the number of people killed during the weekend in mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton, Ohio, that have touched off a new furor over gun violence in the United States.
Patrick Crusius, 21, has been charged with a single count of capital murder in the El Paso case, in what is likely a legal place holder to keep him in custody while the investigation is under way.
Authorities have cited a lengthy anti-immigrant manifesto, apparently posted online by the suspect before the Saturday morning shooting in the heavily Hispanic border city, which they said was evidence the bloodshed was racially motivated.
