Lawyers for the suspect in a shooting at a Walmart in Texas that killed 22 people have waived a federal bond hearing and the reading of the indictment. At Patrick Crusius’ appearance Wednesday, survivors of the attack teared up and consoled one another. Crusius is already being held without bond on state charges.
