You’re right to be confused, Mumbly. Lot of action in Odessa today.
One would think that a ‘normal’ white boy with a warrant would have headed for the nearest rock to crawl under and stayed there for a while until things cooled off, ‘specially after shooting at the patrol vehicle through his rear window without stopping for the traffic stop. To shoot at the cops, and then go on a random spree littered with bullet breadcrumbs leading right to his end-goal, the shopping center, seems a little touched in the head even for a convict.
another story update, E. P., at 7:40pm, makes one wonder if these are early arrivals for the ‘get-woke’ event scheduled to start tomorrow or just coincidence. Haven’t heard Odessa talked about in decades, kinda weird to hear of two instances of trigger-happy drivers in one day. Maybe that college needs a pre-dawn room search? (Is it even in session yet??):
UPDATE 7:50 p.m.: “ Odessa College reports gunfire near the campus at 7:10 p.m. when an automobile “rammed an ECISD Police Department car near campus.” Gunfire was reported immediately after the crash. “The suspect has been detained and there is no ongoing threat to the campus or the community,” college officials stated. Odessa College officials told Breitbart Texas they cannot say if this incident is related to the ongoing Midland-Odessa shooting earlier in the day.”
Ok, today’s report says the cops went after the now-dead guy, and he began FIRING OUT HIS REAR WINDOW WHILE DRIVING and actually SHOT a couple of cops ....because...wait for it...the perp TURNED LEFT WITHOUT SIGNALLING!!
ANNNND the police chief now informs us he REFUSES to identify the perp! Perp’s motive?? Still no clue!!
All righty then!
