7 killed, at least 19 others injured in mass shooting in Odessa, Texas: Police-[ABC News]-September 1, 2019
Seven people were killed and at least 19 others injured when a gunman went on a rampage in Odessa and Midland in Western Texas on Saturday before he was shot to death in a gunfight with police, according to authorities.The latest mass shooting in America came exactly four weeks after 22 people were gunned down at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, and another nine people killed the next day by another gunman in Dayton, Ohio.The suspect in Odessa, whose name has yet to be released by officials, allegedly launched the mass shooting after getting pulled over by police for a minor traffic violation, officials said. He then drove around in his vehicle randomly firing at victims in eight to 13 different locations, including a car dealership and a movie theater, police said.The victims who were wounded included two police officers and a 17-month-old child, officials said.Police initially said five people were killed, but that number included the shooter. On Sunday morning, Odessa Mayor David Turner said the number of people allegedly killed by the gunman rose overnight from four to seven.The shootings unfolded just after 3 p.m. local time when a Texas Department of Public Safety officer pulled the suspect's gold Honda over in a routine traffic stop, according to police.As the officer approached the Honda, the suspect opened fire without warning, wounding the officer, officials said.The gunman, armed with a semiautomatic handgun and multiple ammunition magazine clips, fled along Interstate 20 toward Odessa, targeting people in different locations between Odessa and Midland, a distance of about 20 miles, authorities said.When he reached 42nd Street in Odessa, he opened fire, wounding several more people, authorities added.As police from multiple agencies scrambled to stop the rolling rampage, authorities mistakenly thought there was two gunman after the suspect ditched his vehicle and allegedly carjacked a U.S. Postal Service van, officials said.The alleged killer then sped toward the Cinergy center, a local entertainment complex that includes a cineplex and a laser-tag range.Meztli Sanchez told ABC News that she was playing laser-tag with her 7-year-old son, when people rushed into the indoor range, screaming that the shooter was outside.Sanchez said she, her son and other panicked patrons ran to the rear of the cineplex, where some ran into a field as more gunfire broke out."I grabbed my son and put him behind me and held him against the wall until the shooting stopped," Sanchez told ABC News on Sunday morning when she returned to Cinergy center to pick up her truck, which she left in the parking lot.The suspect, described by authorities as a white man in his 30s, was shot and killed by responding officers after he rammed at least one patrol cars with the stolen mail van, police said.The motive for the shooting is under investigation, police said.The Department of Public Safety officer's injuries were non-life-threatening, Midland Mayor Jerry Morales told CNN.A Midland police officer was also shot and underwent surgery, Morales said.Midland Memorial Hospital received six patients and another 13 patients were taken to Medical Health Center, according to the hospital's president, Russell Tippin.The youngest victim, a 17-month-old child, was struck by shrapnel, police said.Three of shooting victims died after being taken to hospitals, officials said.Cinergy Entertainment, the entertainment center where the rampage came to an end, released a statement on Twitter calling the shooting a "senseless tragedy.""The safety of our team members and guests are our top priority and we are extremely grateful for the swift response from local authorities & first responders," the statement read.Our hearts and prayers go out to the victims and the families of the senseless tragedy in the Odessa/Midland community. The safety of our team members and guests are our top priority and we are extremely grateful for the swift response from local authorities & first responders.— Cinergy Entertainment (@CinergyCinemas) September 1, 2019-"The state of Texas and the Department of Public Safety are working closely with local law enforcement to provide resources as needed and deliver justice for this heinous attack," Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said in a statement."We will not allow the Lone Star State to be overrun by hatred and violence. We will unite, as Texans always do, to respond to this tragedy,” he added. "We offer our unwavering support to the victims, their families, and all the people of Midland and Odessa."Abbott is expected to hold a news conference in Odessa on Sunday afternoon.President Donald Trump tweeted that he's been briefed by the attorney general."FBI and Law Enforcement is fully engaged," he tweeted. "More to follow."The shooting came a day before eight new laws that ease restrictions on guns went into the effect in Texas, including prohibiting landlords from banning tenants from having guns in their apartments, and allowing people licensed to carry concealed weapons to have firearms in churches and other places of worship.The Odessa-Midland rampage was the fifth mass shooting in Texas since September 2017 that have left a combined 72 people dead and 78 wounded.
At Least 5 Dead, 21 Shot In West Texas Shooting Spree-[HuffPost]-Carla Herreria-August 31, 2019
At least five people were killed when a suspect went on a shooting spree Saturday afternoon in Odessa, Texas, in the middle of the Labor Day weekend, according to police.The suspect, described as a white male in his mid-30s, led police on a chase across the city while firing at people in various locations. Amid the chase, the suspect abandoned his car and hijacked a U.S. Postal Service vehicle.Law enforcement officers with the Odessa and Midland police departments and the state Department of Public Safety were able to confront the suspect in the parking lot of Cinergy, a movie theater in Odessa, where they shot and killed him.At least 21 people were injured during the shooting, Odessa police Chief Michael Gerke said in a press conference Saturday evening. One of the injured victims is a 17-month-old baby-Three officers were also injured, Gerke added, including one officer with the Odessa Police Department, one with the Midland Police Department and one with the state Department of Public Safety.“It has been confirmed that the active shooter was shot and killed at the Cinergy in Odessa,” police in Midland, a neighboring city, announced Saturday evening. “There is no active shooter at this time. All agencies are investigating reports of possible suspects.”About an hour previously, a police spokesperson in Odessa told HuffPost that shootings had been taking place “literally all around town.”“We’re just telling everyone to stay in their house right now,” she said.The shooting began shortly after a traffic stop when a DPS state trooper attempted to pull over the suspect, who was driving a gold Honda, at around 3:17 p.m., Gerke said during the press conference.When the Honda stopped, Gerke said, the suspect shot at the trooper and continued to drive westbound toward Odessa. During the chase, the suspect shot at multiple victims at various places, according to police.VIDEO: One man got video as police chased after the man suspected of opening fire in Midland and Odessa, killing 5 people and injuring 21 others.

There were 13 injured victims being treated at the Medical Center Health System in Odessa, the hospital’s CEO, Russell Tippin, said during a news conference.Of those 13 victims, two were treated and released; seven were in critical condition, yet stable after undergoing surgery; and two were in serious condition. One victim was transferred to a pediatric center because they were under the age of 2, and one victim died at the hospital.The 17-month-old is in “satisfactory condition,” a hospital spokesperson told HuffPost-During an earlier news conference, Tippin said he incorrectly told press that the hospital had 14 victims in its care.It’s unclear whether the victim who died at the hospital was included in the death toll that police reported earlier. The Odessa Police Department did not respond to HuffPost’s request for clarification.Initial police reports suggested that there were two shooters in separate cars, though Gerke later clarified that there was likely only one suspect involved in the shootings.“Once this individual was taken out of the picture, there have been no more victims,” Gerke told reporters.While reporting on the shooting, CB7 news anchors were forced to evacuate their studio at Music City Mall in Odessa as police searched the area.The University of Texas of the Permian Basin, located in Odessa, was placed on lockdown as police searched for the suspect.In a statement, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) called the shooting a “senseless and cowardly attack” and said state officials were working closely with local law enforcement.President Donald Trump said he was briefed about the shootings and said the FBI was “fully engaged” in the situation.As the shooting was taking place, Democratic presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke, a Texas native, tweeted his support to the people of Midland and Odessa.At an event later Saturday, O’Rourke, a former member of Congress, said he didn’t know the exact details of the shooting in Western Texas, but he was clearly disgusted.“We do know this is fucked up,” he told his supporters. “We do know that this has to stop in our country.”Four weeks earlier, O’Rourke took a break from his campaign to return to his hometown of El Paso after a mass shooting there left 22 dead.Less than 24 hours after the massacre in El Paso, another mass shooting left nine people dead in Dayton, Ohio.We don't know how many have been killed.
