   Trump to visit El Paso and Dayton in wake of mass shootings   
      
      
   U.S. President Donald Trump will visit El Paso, Texas, on Wednesday in the   
   wake of the weekend's mass shootings.   
      
   But El Paso Mayor Dee Margo appeared tense as he announced the visit Monday   
   evening, specifying he will welcome the president as his "formal duty."   
      
   "This is not a political visit as we had before," Margo said, referring to the   
   February rally Trump held in the border city of 700,000, when the president   
   argued a border wall would make the United States safer.   
      
   "He is president of the United States, so in that capacity, I will fulfil my   
   obligations as mayor of El Paso to meet with the president and discuss   
   whatever our needs are in this community and hope that if we are expressing   
   specifics, that we can get him    
   to come through for us."   
      
   News of Trump's visit comes as communities in Texas and Ohio reel from two   
   mass shootings in 24 hours over the weekend, which killed 31 people and   
   wounded dozens.   
      
   In El Paso, at least seven Mexican nationals were among 22 people shot when a   
   gunman opened fire at a Walmart during the busy back-to-school season on   
   Saturday. Margo described the shooter as a "white supremacist." The shooter is   
   now in custody.   
      
   Mexican authorities say eight of the victims were Mexican nationals, although   
   the U.S listed seven. Tens of thousands of Mexicans legally cross the border   
   each day to work and shop in El Paso.   
      
   And in Dayton, Ohio, officers gunned down a 24-year-man at the doorstep of a   
   bar-turned-hiding place in the middle of a nightclub district shortly after 1   
   a.m. Sunday. Nine people were killed, including the gunman's sister.   
      
   Trump will also visit Dayton later this week.
