Mexico President Andrés Manuel López Obrador says three Mexicans have been killed in the shooting in the border city of El Paso, Texas.
He tweeted Saturday that he sends “condolences to the families of the victims, both American and Mexican.”
Texas officials said Saturday that 20 people were killed in total, and 26 wounded.
A 21-year-old white, male suspect was arrested in connection with the shooting, authorities said. The El Paso police chief told reporters at a press conference that investigators are looking into a manifesto the suspect may have written.
The manifesto details the author's anti-immigrant beliefs, and expresses fears that Hispanic immigrants will turn Texas into a "Democrat stronghold."
El Paso is home to many Mexicans and sits directly across the border from Ciudad Juarez in the northern state of Chihuahua.
Mexican Foreign Relations Secretary Marcelo Ebrard says six Mexicans were wounded in the shooting. He identified three as 45-year-old Mario de Alba Montes, 44-year-old Olivia Mariscal Rodríguez and 10-year-old Erika de Alba Mariscal. Ebrard says the man and woman are from Chihuahua and all three are being treated at an El Paso hospital.
He says the other three wounded Mexicans were two men and a woman from Torreón, in Coahuila state, and Ciudad Juarez. Their names weren't given.
