At least five people are dead after a gunman hijacked a postal service van and shot at at least 21 people, Odessa Police Chief Michael Gerke said Saturday.
The gunman, who was shot and killed by police, was described as a white male in his 30s. Authorities have not yet released his name.
This shooting marks the second time in less than a month that Texas has been impacted by mass gun violence. Exactly four weeks ago, 22 people were killed and 24 more were injured when a man opened fire in an El Paso Walmart.
According to the Gun Violence Archive, a non-profit that tracks such incidents, there have been 280 mass shootings in 2019, where at least four people were injured or killed excluding the perpetrators.
To date, including this shooting, 602 people have died in mass shootings in 2019 and 2,356 have been injured.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said he will travel to Odessa on Sunday, and called the attack "cowardly." He offered his support to the victims, their families and the people in the Midland-Odessa area.
"I thank the first responders who have acted swiftly and admirably under pressure, and I want to remind all Texans that we will not allow the Lone Star State to be overrun by hatred and violence," Abbott said in a statement. "We will unite, as Texans always do, to respond to this tragedy.”
Here's what we know so far about what happened Saturday in Midland-Odessa.
What happened?
The incident began Saturday afternoon when Texas Department of Public Safety officers attempted to make a traffic stop, according to a statement on the DPS Facebook page. The suspect, who was driving a gold car, "pointed a rifle toward the rear window of his car and fired several shots toward the DPS patrol unit," according to the DPS post. -

When it's a black guy, the shooting itself just gets memory holed.

Once you are reported as a danger, no matter how little evidence exists, there is no recourse to remove the restrictions placed on you. Clearly, reporting this student as a "threat" was retaliation; not for something personal, but for simply having the audacity to proudly share his firearms training on YouTube. It is also retaliation against the student's mother for having the audacity to train with him. The school itself is complicit in this conspiracy by trying to "make an example" of the student, as their protocols are arbitrary, have nothing to do with the law and they have complete control over how long this circus drags out
They're terrified of people just for lawfully training to use firearms. Hilarious. The majority of illegal shootings are not perpetrated by people who are actually trained to use firearms correctly but the lefty brain is defective by nature..
