Walmart plans to reopen the El Paso store where 22 people were killed in a shooting earlier this month, the retail giant said, but the entire interior of the building will first be rebuilt.

"If we close it, they win," said Laura Lopez, 59, who brought her gardening gloves from home to help clear dead flowers from the memorial site Thursday."Life goes on and you've got to go on."

Many shoppers from Ciudad Juarez went there because it is the closest Walmart to the four border bridges that connect to El Paso. Eight of the people killed in the shooting were Mexican citizens. The vast majority had Hispanic names. Authorities took more than 10 days to finish processing evidence before returning control of the property to Walmart. It was less time than officials initially anticipated given the scope of the carnage, plus the size of the crime scene where police said up to 3,000 shoppers had gathered. The FBI has returned most of the 230 vehicles that had been in limbo behind crime scene tape for days after the attack.

Texas State Troopers keep watch at the makeshift memorial for victims of the shooting that left a total of 22 people dead at the Cielo Vista Mall WalMart in El Paso, Texas, on Aug. 6, 2019.

And ......... you're going to put in security .... right?

Y Bastard. (I hope I got that right). Enough. Tell Walmart to stop selling guns!

Good god. Enough. I hope not one person ever enters that store again until the billionaire tRuml loving Christo fascist Walton’s stop selling guns.

They have a lot of full time underpaid employees on food stamps depending on the work.

I made it home, found out there was a shooting at the Walmart down the street about a week before the one in El Paso.

Wonder if they'll reconsider the firearms section? Or add kevlar clothing section instead? Maybe a gun check? Metal detectors?

Walk over death for out of date products.

How about the support the community? Shame on them, It happened on their property!
