(Ken Silva, Headline USA) After being reportedly kicked out of the U.S. Army in 2008 “due to mental health concerns,” suspected Allen, Texas, mass shooter Mauricio Garcia embarked on a career as a state-licensed security guard.
Garcia would have needed a background check from Texas before becoming a licensed guard. But according to one of the security firms Garcia worked for, the state never reported his purported mental-health issues when conducting the background check.
Headline USA learned this while reaching out to the firms Garcia reportedly worked for, including Ruiz Protective Service—a company founded by former FBI agent Hector Ruiz.

Ruiz Protective provided the following information in an email: “Based on the information available concerning the incident at the Allen mall, we believe that Mauricio Garcia who worked for Ruiz Protective Service, Inc. from November 2015 to June 2016 is the same person involved in the shooting. This individual was terminated in 2016 and was not employed by Ruiz Protective Service, Inc. after that time.
“We were not aware of any mental health issues related to Mr. Garcia nor did the State of Texas report any issues when conducting a background check prior to issuing him a security license,” said the Ruiz Protective vice president, Rob Minnis.
