joining us here in the united states and all around the world. you are watching "cnn newsroom," and i'm rosemary church. just ahead, we are following two tragedies out of texas. new details on the man who opened fire at an outdoor mall in the city of allen, killing eight people. his possible ties to right-wing extremism. in brownsville, investigators are trying to determine why the driver of a car crashed into a group of people outside a migrant shelter, killing at least eight. and a covid-era immigration rule expires this week. we will talk to a priest in el paso, texas, whose church shelters dozens of migrants.
12:02 am
thanks for joining us. residents of allen, texas, have been mourning the eight people killed in saturday's mass shooting. officials, first responders, and other members of the community gathered at this vigil on sunday to remember the victims. the mayor-elect delivered an emotional speech calling for prayers to help heal the city. we're going to need prayer. so please, think about our families here in this community. think about all the people that are involved. and just, let's pray. jesus, take the wheel. >> mourners have also honored the victims by placing flowers on this makeshift memorial. it was set up at the outlet mall where the gunman carried out the attack. authorities are still piecing together details about the shooting and are trying to determine if the gunman had ties to right wing extremism.
12:03 am
cnn's ed lavandera is in texas with more on the investigation. >> reporter: the parking lot of the outlet mall here in allen, texas, where a gunman killed eight people saturday afternoon is still cordoned off. hundreds of cars still in the parking lot as investigators continue to work through the scene. we have learned from various witnesses who were there at the time of the shooting that the gunman, from the moment he started firing to the moment where he was shot and killed by an allen police officer, that the gunman had moved several hundred yards around a building inside that parking lot area. several witnesses described the gunman moving deliberately and shooting at victims as he was continuing to move through the parking lot. we have now identified, according to a senior law enforcement source, the suspect as 33-year-old mauricio garcia. he lives in dallas. we were in the neighborhood where his parents lived, and we were told up until several months ago he was living there.
12:04 am
we tried to speak with garcia's family, but they refused to answer the door when we knocked on it. we did speak with neighbors who described garcia as someone who kept to himself. >> i never really saw anything that seemed a little suspicious or out of, you know -- out of whack with the guy. i mean, he would get in, he would park his car, then just walk in like anybody else. so nothing, you know -- nothing hit a red flag. i think he was a real loner. a lot of times he would walk up and down the block. and always wore those converse. i guess those were his favorite, those converse. he just liked to walk up and down the block with his little hoodie on, you know. didn't really say anything. >> reporter: a senior law enforcement official also says that they have discovered that mauricio garcia has connections to right-wing extremism. on his body they found an insignia, "right-wing death squad." that senior law enforcement
12:05 am
official says there has been a long list of social media posts with white supremacist and right-wing extremism themes as well. exactly how all of that plays into the motivation for carrying out this attack here at this outlet mall in allen, that part is not exactly clear. but that is some of the initial details that we are hearing from investigators. this as we have now gone more than 24 hours since the shooting happened that officials and law enforcement officers have not briefed reporters on the latest on this investigation. ed lavandera, cnn, allen, texas. >> a man who witnessed the shooting tells cnn he saw the gunman shooting at a police officer in pursuit of him. >> we basically turned and watched. as we were watching, the shooter goes right across -- he's not running but kind of in a deliberate assault-type move. and he either had a -- an m-16
12:06 am
or m-4 carbine, and he was firing. shot about four or five shots as he proceeded toward the hamburger place. i don't know who he shot. a few moments later, we saw a police officer come across in front of us like he was in pursuit of the individual. >> cnn has learned the name of one of the eight people killed in that attack. this is christian lacour. his systems cnn that he was a sweet, caring young man who was loved greatly by his family. a survivor of the shooting also says he was a kind and dedicated mall security guard who could light up a room just by being there. u.s. president joe biden has ordered flags to be lowered to half staff through thursday for the, quote, senseless acts of violence in texas. he's now calling on u.s. lawmakers to take action on gun control. cnn's jeremy diamond has more from the white house. >> reporter: the flag above the white house is once again flying
12:07 am
at half staff as we watch this all too familiar ritual in the wake of another deadly mass shooting play out. president biden putting out a statement offering his prayers to the victims and their families, and also thanking first responders for acting quickly and courageously. he says that federal law enforcement officials are offering assistance to state and local authorities. we're also hearing from president biden is once again a call to action. a call to enact the kind of commonsense gun reforms that president biden believes are necessary. he's also making clear who he believes is responsible for the inaction on those efforts in washington, saying in a statement, quote, too many families have empty chairs at their dinner tables. republican members of congress cannot continue to meet this epidemic with a shrug. tweeted thoughts and prayers are not enough. once again, i ask congress to send me a bill banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, enacting universal background checks, requiring safe storage, ending immunity
12:08 am
for gun manufacturers. i will sign it immediately. we need nothing less to keep our streets safe. and president biden in the statement also says he believes the country has made some progress in addressing this issue, pointing to his signing of that bipartisan safer communities act that sought to incentivize red flag laws in the country and address mental health resources. he also makes bleer he believes despite the nearly two dozen executive actions he has signed on this issue, he believes he's reached the limit of his executive authorities and seth the burden now rests with congress. further south in brownsville, texas, eight people were killed after a car crashed into a crowd near a migrant shelter on sunday. this video shows the corner where it happened. police say they will have more details on the crash in the coming hours, but for now it's unknown whether the incident was intentional or not.
12:09 am
cnn's rosa flores has more from texas. >> reporter: now, this happened in brownsville, texas, which is across the border from matamoros, members toe. according to the director of the shelter where all of this unfolded, he said that this happened across the street from the shelter on sunday morning at about 8:30 in the morning. he says between 20 and 25 migrants from venezuela were sitting on the curb, waiting for a bus. and then the rest was captured on surveillance video. he says he watched this video and what he saw unfold, he says there was a 2007 range rover vehicle that was driving at a very high speed. the driver ran a red light, then hit the curb about 30 feet from where the migrants were. and then that that vehicle went out of control. now, according to this director, he said that he talked to some of the witnesses and that, according to some of the
12:10 am
witnesses, that this act was intentional. but i asked the director if, based on his witnessing of this video, watching this video, if to him it actually looked like an intentional act. and he said no. he reiterated that what this video showed was that there was a vehicle that was driving at a very high rate of speed, that ran a red light, hit a curb, and then drove out of control. about the driver of this vehicle, according to brownsville police, they have not identified this individual. this individual is not cooperating with authorities. this individual is under arrest and they're being held on charges of reckless driving. now, i'm here in el paso, texas, because we're covering the migrant surge that's happening leading up to the lifting of title 42. if you can see, there are
12:11 am
barricades here in front of me on this street, because what you see behind me is a church shelter. so there's a lot of concern by city officials here in the city of el paso and in other border cities for their own public safety and the public safety of their residents. that's why the city of el paso issued a statement on sunday saying that the incident in brownsville reinforced their decision to close out the street here at the shelter in el paso. rosa flores, cnn, el paso. >> cnn spoke with a texas lawmaker about the car crash. here are the details he shared. >> they are doing the drug and alcohol tests. he's not been very cooperative and we don't know -- we got that video. there's other videos that i did not want to send over to you, they're a lot more graphic. i think law enforcement will have a better idea tomorrow.
12:12 am
i think they're having a press conference. that vehicle was traveling at a very, very fast pace. now, whether he did it intentionally or lost control, we don't know at this time. but we do know that any time, if you're driving that fast and there's people around there, there will be some sort of rec reckless, maybe criminal action against that individual. but we'll leave that up to the local law enforcement. but again, you know, i just feel bad for those migrants that were just standing there waiting for the bus. many of them did not make it. some of them are, of course, in the hospital with very serious injuries. a flashpoint in the u.s. border crisis is happening this week. the pandemic-era deportation rule known as title 42 comes to an end and could spur a new surge in migrants at the southern border. later this hour, i will talk with someone on the front line of the migrant crisis here in

a ukrainian official says forces have intercepted and destroyed 35 what head drones in the skies over kyiv after russia launched an attack overnight. falling debris caused damage in two districts in the capital and five people were injured. you can see the damage left behind. and to the south, ukraine says russia fired eight missiles at the port city of odesa. so far, no reports of casualties. on the front lines in the east, top commanders say russian forces are increasing their attacks on bakhmut. the ukrainian military remains determined to keep russia from capturing the city by tuesday when moscow holds its world war ii victory day parade. ukraine says russia is doing everything possible to take bakhmut, including sending in
12:18 am
more forces. meantime, preparations are under way in moscow for russia's annual victory day parade to mark the defeat of nazi germany. tuesday's event is typically used by president vladimir putin to show off his country's military might, but this year events are reportedly being scaled back and security heightened just days after russia alleged a drone attack on the kremlin. in comments made just a short time ago, ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy compared vladimir putin's russia to hitler's nazi germany. he said he is submitting a bill to his parliament to change ukraine's official victory day celebration to may 8th. clare sebastian live in london, what more can you tell us? >> reporter: very significant to hear that some regions are scaling back their efforts to
12:19 am
celebrate victory day. this is a huge holiday in russia. russia lost an order of magnitude more people, both soldiers and civilians, tens of millions in the second world war. it's a huge part of their national identity. we're hearing quite a few regions saying they're scaling back celebrations, most of them near the russian border with ukraine. some citing security concerns. one saying they don't have military equipment or military units, various things to prompt them to scale back. this used to be a day that russia marked in conjunction with the west. this was a shared victory. in the past we've seen western dignitaries attend the celebrations. in 2010, we saw western troops march alongside russian troops in red square. so this is a big turnaround. now we see no western dignitaries there. as you noted, president zelenskyy even distancing ukraine from celebrating victory day on may the 9th, saying going
12:20 am
forward from this year, they'll celebrate on may the 8th, may 9th will be a day of europe and ukraine to commemorate their alliance and the support of europe in this war against russia. so that is an important development, and it really just shows the landscape around victory day has changed in russia. >> clare, we know that ukraine continues to ask for weapons from its western allies as it prepares for this counteroffensive. what do we know about russia's weapons depsupplies? >> reporter: on the ukrainian side they're getting a lot of western modern wepds. they say they've received 98% of the armored vehicles and tanks they've been requested and been promised by their western allies rewe also know ukraine has claim the a patriot battery that it has been supplied with by the west has shot down a russian hypersonic missile. it seems to be the first time that that has happened, if that's true.
12:21 am
and meanwhile, on the russian side, we're seeing evidence that the arsenal is getting older, that they are dipping back so far into their historical stockpiles that they're now using equipment that was built just after the second world war. >> what a missile will do is fly over the tank, then down at 90 degrees, straight into the top of the turret, which is less well defended. >> reporter: this scenario has played out hundreds of times over the past 14 months. ukraine using western weapons to devastating effect. russia, according to one recent estimate, has lost up to half its operational tank fleet in this war. now western officials say russia's dusting off much older models to replace them. >> this is a second world war gun. >> reporter: including the t-55, first built in the 1940s. this one now housed at the imperial war museum outside
12:22 am
cambridge. satellite imagery from a storage facility in russia's far east showing dozens of tanks have been removed in the last year. this image showing the t-55 at that same facility. video that first surfaced in march also showing a train load on the move, reportedly somewhere in russia. the russian ministry of defense hasn't confirmed their deployment, but in recent weeks, well-connected russian bloggers have begun showing t-55s in russian-occupied territory in ukraine. >> so many of these were manufactured, over 100,000 altogether. the parts, the basic mechanical parts, are all interchangeable. so there will be vast stockpiles of these. >> reporter: the t-55 was a central piece of the soviet union's cold war arsenal, helping crush democratic uprisings in central europe. by the time iraq used them in the gulf war in the early '90s -- >> we took out, all told, 14 t-55 tanks.
12:23 am
>> reporter: they were already outclassed by u.s. abrams and british challengers. >> i think faced with western weapons, the russians must expect very heavy casualties if they expect to move forward using that type of system. >> reporter: experts say behind the official propaganda, russia cannot build new weapons quick enough. western sanctions primarily targeting russia's access to higher-tech parts, weapons have made it much harder for them to manufacture more modern equipment. older, simpler tanks like this, thousands of them sitting in storage, provide an alternative. >> this against a challenger, what happens? >> if it's a one-on-one tank engagement over a reasonable distance this will lose every
12:24 am
time. but in wooded or closer environments, this is adequate. >> reporter: it's also simpler to maintain and train on than newer systems, an advantage for russia's mobilized troops. >> dig a pit, sit the tank in the pit so you can only see the turret, and that can be used to defend the front line against a counterattack. >> reporter: russia is now digging in with everything it has as ukraine gets ready for what may be its biggest counteroffensive yet. clearly ukraine may have the quality edge when it comes to western weapons it's receive is, but russia may be able to bring the quantity to bear with these new, older pieces of equipment. and that could be meaningful on the battlefield. also shows its commitment to using everything it can get its hands on to keep this war going. >> clare sebastian, many thanks for that report, appreciate it. fighting rages on in sudan as envoys from the two warring sides gather for peace talks. plumes of smoke and sounds of
12:25 am
explosions could be heard in the south of the capital, khartoum, sunday. the violence comes as representatives of the sudanese army and the paramilitary rapid support forces are in jeddah for talks led by the u.s. and saudi arabia. meanwhile, the league of arab states says a committee will be formed to communicate with sudan's warring parties on reaching a cease-fire agreement. the conflict has killed hundreds, triggered a mass exodus, and created a humanitarian crisis. at least 55 people have been killed and more than 200 hospitalized amid ethnic violence in the indian state of manipur. authorities say as many as 23,000 people have fled their homes since violence broke out in the past few days after a rally to protest the potential inclusion of the state's majority ethnic group as a, quote, schedule tribe, which offers wider access to health

u.s. house republicans are set to vote on a wide-ranging border security package on thursday which is also the expiration date for title 42. that is the u.s. government rule that allowed border officers to swiftly expel migrants during the covid pandemic. both republicans and democrats have been critical of president joe biden's planning and communication about the border crisis, but the homeland security secretary is pushing back saying the u.s. is prepared to handle any expected migrant surge. >> it's going to take our plan awhile to really take hold, for people to understand that they can access lawful, safe, orderly pathways before they reach the border. and quite frankly, if they come to the border, they will receive a consequence under our enforcement authorities.
12:31 am
>> people are already gathering near the southern border, anticipating the end of title 42. cnn's gustavo valdez is in the region with more. >> reporter: we be about 15 miles from downtown juarez. this is the point where many migrants are now waiting for the end of title 42. the end of title 42 is may 11th. nonetheless, these people think that it is safer for them to be here already in u.s. territory behind that barbed wire than being on the streets of ciudad juarez, where they believe they could be victims of crime. we have seen this afternoon about 200 people that are waiting here. many of them are children. and we hear the cry, the cry for help from many of them who are requesting water or food from us. they say they've been here about
12:32 am
five days, and they have limited resources. we've seen some people come with food, water, sodas. but it seems like they are selling. so only those who still have some money can benefit from this. we've also seen medical emergencies like the one on that side where we are told there are three women who collapsed, and they're waiting for some kind of assistance. there are -- there's nobody on the u.s. side, nobody from the border patrol, the national guard. there are two port-a-pottys, but there are no officials here to see what's happening. they were telling us they were trying to get these women back into mexico, to see if they can get any medical help on this side. we haven't seen that happening yet. gustavo valdes, cnn, ciudad
12:33 am
juarez. the church runs a shelter that houses between 120 and 130 people. thank you, father, for speaking with us. >> thank you. glad that you invited me, really appreciate it. >> so you are on the front line of the migrant crisis. you see what's actually happening there on the ground. how prepared do you think the united states is for the end of title 42 on may 11th? >> i guess how i see it, just by being here on the border, we're about four blocks away from the u.s./mexico border, that is i think the united states is very capable of taking in the asylum seekers. i think the issue is these bottleneck situations or these bottle situations, however you call it, at the entry points where everything ends up -- becomes very critical for the communities that receive the people immediately, which is the case for el paso or brownsville
12:34 am
or other border towns. so it's more the issue of how can it be resolved or how can help be offered to the places where people come in? i think the united states' capacity to -- it needs a lot of workers, a lot of people. >> and president biden has approved sending 1,500 active-duty troops for deployment at the u.s./mexico border in preparation for the end of title 42 on thursday. what's your response to that move? >> well, what i heard is that they were coming to free up border patrol from their jobs so they could be processing people. it sounds like that's the operation. what can i say? i just hope that people can be processed in an expedient way and not have to be detained or be in situations that are not particularly helpful after they've gone through this very traumatic journey. >> so what will the end of title
12:35 am
42 mean for so many migrants who are desperate to enter this country? >> well, i think finally they will have a chance to present their case. present their asylum case. it's complicated, but at least they'll have a chance to do that, which is a human right. people have been waiting in mexico for a long time under very harsh conditions, all sorts of problems happening on the border towns. so it will give them some relief, i hope. and hopefully they can find a path to be able to ask for asylum and find a regularized situation. >> father, what are some of the stories that you would like to share with us about the situation for some of the migrants sheltering at your church in el paso? >> yeah, we handle about 120 to 130. today, this morning, about 1,200 people on the streets all around us. so we're just handling what we
12:36 am
can. people come, it's really -- they're very brave. they're very determined. these are people that want to work. they're fleeing horrible situations in their home country. in particular, venezuela. they've gone through a very dangerous journey and traumatic. so we see people that are injured. we had a woman with us who was three months pregnant, and she said she had to run from the cart sells that were going to take their money in mexico. they were able to escape. she had an injury, and she came to us. we were able to take her to the hospital. and there's all sorts of stories of people who are -- really risk everything. and there are people that still keep their composure, they keep their peace. they want to start a new life. be able to work. have a dignified life, like any of us. it's very edifying to deal with that, because these are people that are just wanting to survive, wanting to start a life with dignity and work.
12:37 am
>> father rafael garcia, thank you so much for talking with us and for the incredible work you're doing right now, appreciate it. >> thank you very much, god bless you, bye-bye. new york city is gearing up for its own expected migrant surge as title 42 expires. mayor eric adams says the city will transport willing migrants to neighboring counties outside the city for temporary housing. but that plan is not sitting well with everyone in those counties. cnn's gore yeah pass mena has more. >> reporter: officials in rockland county are not happy about this plan to send some migrants there. they issued a statement last night calling the plan absurd and saying that their county does not have the infrastructure to support the arrival of these migrants. however, the city of new york is countering that by reminding them they're only trying to send up to 300 people who will go there on a voluntary basis and
12:38 am
that the city will be paying for the cost of sending them there and whatever they might need while they are in rockland county. but this just gives you an idea of the many difficulties and obstacles that the city of new york is facing as it prepares for arrivals to start increasing significantly after title 42 expires. i've been speaking with sources inside the adams administration all week who tell me that they're looking at this as an all hands on deck moment. they are estimating that we might see up to 800 arrivals per day here in the city following the expiration of title 42. and the city has a unique challenge when it comes to shelter, because they are legally ob obligated to provide shelter to anyone who might need it. and now the city is at a place where they are simply running out of space. they have been looking at a range of different ideas, including everything from
12:39 am
putting up tents in central park to leasing out college doerls, using unused airplane hangars at jfk airport. all of this part of a long list of possible ideas that the city has been looking at as a sheltering option as migrants begin to arrive here the next couple of days. already more than 60,000 migrants have come through new york city, and over 35,000 of them are currently in the care of the city mayor, eric adams, who's made a big show of asking the federal government for funding. the federal government has only responded by giving just a fraction of the funding that the city has requested so far. so mayor adams, certainly under pressure not just to provide for those arriving but also to find the money and the funds to meet the need that will likely be here over the next several months as migrants continue to arrive.
