Governor Greg Abbott termed the shooting in the Texas border city as 'one of the most deadly days in the history of Texas'.
The suspect, who was identified as Patrick Crusius from Allen Texas, a suburb of Dallas more than 650 miles away, now in custody, according to Texas Police Chief Greg Allen.
According to local media reports, the FBI has opened a domestic terror investigation into the mass shooting.
According to the authorities, the store was packed with as many as 3,000 people caused by a busy back-to-school shopping season when the shooting began.
