I live in Midland.

Here’s the scoop. Shooting started when guy was pulled over by DPS on I-30. I20 is a highway that crosses Texas. So no clue where the guy is from.

Shot FPs officer and fled. In the process he started randomly shooting people in cars or along the way as he went into Odessa. One of these people is a dear friend. He is in serious condition. Shot in side and drove himself to hospital.

Shooter hijacked a mail truck. Per us regs mailmen are disarmed. So he had no chance.

He went to the Cynergy. The Cynergy is a new movie complex with bowling, rock climbing, restaurants etc. it’s in the middle area between midland and Odessa. The towns are now growing together.

He was corned in the parking lot and gunned down by Midland police, apparently with assistance of armed civilians.

He’s dead.

Thank you for your perspective and best wishes and (more important) prayers for your friend. I don’t wish to live in west Texas. Prefer Arizona. But it is good country.
