He was not awarded a military occupational specialty. He had no deployments or awards. We do not provide characterization of discharge for any soldier," said Heather J. Hagan, the U.S. Army public affairs spokeswoman.An Army official told FOX 4 that Garcia was removed due to mental health issues."He was separated under the 2005 edition of Army Regulation 635-200, paragraph 5–17, Other designated physical or mental conditions," the official said.<h2>White Supremacist Ideology Investigation</h2>Federal officials are looking into whether Garcia expressed an interest in white supremacist ideology as they work to try to discern a motive for the attack, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press. The official cautioned the investigation is in its early stages.Federal agents have been reviewing social media accounts they believe Garcia used and posts that expressed interest in white supremacist and neo-Nazi views, said the official, who could not discuss details of the investigation publicly and spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity.Garcia also had a patch on his chest when he was killed by police that read "RWDS," an acronym for the phrase "Right Wing Death Squad," which is popular among right-wing extremists and white supremacy groups, the official said.In addition to reviewing social media posts, federal agents have interviewed family members and associates of Garcia to ask about his ideological beliefs, the official said. Investigators are also reviewing financial records, other online posts they believe Garcia made and other electronic media, according to the official.The official said police also found multiple weapons at the scene after Garcia was killed, including an AR-15-style rifle and a handgun.A vigil was held at Cottonwood Baptist Church in Allen Sunday evening to remember the victims and help the community heal.The victims include 20-year-old Christian LaCour, a security guard who was working at the time of the shooting, 27-year-old Aishwarya Thatikonda, an Indian national who worked as an engineer in McKinney, Kyu and Cindy Cho and 3-year-old son, James, and sisters Daniela and Sofia Mendoza, who attended Wylie ISD schools.The Cho's 6-year-old son, William Cho, and Daniela and Sofia's mother, Ilda Mendoza, are among those who were critically injured.The Associated Press contributed to this report</div></body>
