A hospital official says another victim of the weekend mass shooting in El Paso, Texas, has died.
Dr. Stephen Flaherty, of the Del Sol Medical Center, says the patient was one of two victims of Saturday's attack to die at the hospital on Monday. Police earlier announced the death of one of the patients.
The new deaths bring the death toll from the attack to 22. More than two dozen other people were wounded.
The attack happened hours before a separate mass shooting in Dayton, Ohio, in which nine people were killed and others were wounded.
The suspected gunman, 21-year-old Patrick Crusius, has been booked on capital murder charges.
Speaking from the White House on Monday, President Donald Trump condemned the El Paso mass shooting and another in Dayton, Ohio, hours later in his first public remarks since the attacks.
CNN reports the shooter posted a four-page document to the website 8chan about 20 minutes before the attack. They said it was allegedly filled with white supremacist language and racist hatred aimed at immigrants and Latinos, saying he opposed "race mixing" and encouraged immigrants to return to their home countries. Cloudflare, a network provider for 8chan, released a statement on Monday that they will be terminating the website effective midnight Pacific Time. You can read the full statement here.

Sad to report that the number of fatalities increased by one. Victim passed early this morning at the hospital.
