Texas governor Gregory Abbott told reporters Saturday that 20 people had been killed, and more than two dozen more were injured. He called it "one of the most deadly days in the history of Texas."
One suspect was in custody, officials said. Law enforcement sources say police identified the suspect as Patrick Crusius, 21, from the Dallas area. The reason behind the attack was being investigated.
President Donald Trump said he will deploy forces to support Texas.
