An Army veteran, a 15-year-old boy and a hero mother were among 20 victims of Saturday's shooting at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas. 

A gunman, identified by police as Patrick Crusius, opened fire on the crowded store in what authorities are calling an act of domestic terrorism.

The shooter targeted the super-store at the Cielo Vista Mall, a popular shopping destination for people both sides of the US-Mexico border. 

Less than 20 minutes before the shooting, Crusius allegedly uploaded a twisted and seething anti-immigrant manifesto to an online forum outlining his sickening motives and revealing that he intended to target Hispanics.  

At least 20 people were killed and 26 more were injured before Crusius was arrested. 

Witnesses have told how Crusius displayed no expression as he fired at victims.

Anchondo's heartbroken sister Leta Jamrowski said the mother-of-three fell on top of the infant as she was shot. The boy suffered broken bones and is being treated in a hospital. 

'From the baby's injuries, they said that more than likely my sister was trying to shield him,' Jamrowski, 19, told the Associated Press. 

'So when she got shot she was holding him and she fell on him, so that's why he broke some of his bones.

'He pretty much lived because she gave her life.' 

Jordan's husband Andre was also killed in the attack, the family confirmed Sunday.

A friend recalled that he had recently turned his life around after struggles with drug dependence and run-ins with the law.
