The Mexican government vows to take legal action against the United States after six Mexican nationals were killed and seven more were injured in a mass shooting at an El Paso Walmart.

Foreign secretary Marcelo Ebrard announced the legal action in a video posted on his Twitter account. In the video, Ebrard described the El Paso shooting as “unacceptable.”

Ebrard said the Mexican government will label suspected shooter Patrick Crusius a terrorist and aim to have him stand trial in Mexico.
