EL PASO, the United States, Aug. 5 (Xinhua) -- The death toll in weekend mass shooting in El Paso, U.S. state of Texas, has risen to 22 after two people died early Monday morning at a hospital, El Paso police said.
U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday morning the shooter's manifesto was "consumed with racist hate."
He called for mental health gun control reforms, the death penalty for those who commit mass murder and more bi-partisan cooperation over gun laws.
On Sunday, Trump issued a proclamation, ordering that all American flags at military installations, federal facilities, and the White House be flown at half-staff until sunset on Aug. 8.
On Monday, three service dogs from Texas city of San Antonio arrived in El Paso to patients and families of shooting victims.
Their handlers say the dogs from the Methodist Healthcare System are specially trained to help people experiencing grief, stress and trauma, local media reported.
The attack in the border city of El Paso in Texas happened on Aug. 3 at a Walmart mall. More than 20 people were also injured in the attack with several in serious condition. A 21-year-old white male has been arrested. Enditem
