The horrific massacre at a Walmart in El Paso claimed 22 lives over the weekend — and 900 miles away, it nearly took one more.
In the aftermath, a Utah Latino attempted suicide, an action Teresa Milano, a therapist and co-founder of Latino Behavioral Health Services, said was tied to the relentless animosity targeted at the community, punctuated by the rampage against Mexican migrants in the border town.
“Here we learn about people who attempt suicide because they feel the hatred, just like it happens within the LGBT community, and it is regardless of education or citizenship status,” Milano said.
