The shooter’s online activity betrayed a fascination with white supremacy and mass shootings, which he described as sport.

POSTS ON A Russian social network suggest a man who opened fire at a suburban shopping centre in Dallas, Texas, killing eight people and wounding seven others, had planned the attack for weeks.

The online activity has contributed to an emerging picture of Garcia. He was discharged from the US Army in 2008 because of mental health issues and had apparently been working as a security guard, according to neighbours and an Army official. The official said Garcia had a patch on his chest when police killed him that read RWDS, an acronym for “Right Wing Death Squad”, which is popular among right-wing extremists and white supremacy groups.

On the Dallas block where Garcia lived at a family home until recently, neighbours said they thought he worked as a security guard but they were not sure where.
