The assault rifle-toting madman who killed seven people and wounded more than 20 others in a roving Texas spree was identified Sunday as Seth Ator.
Ator, a 36-year-old resident of Odessa, Texas, was first named as the assailant by CBS News, citing law-enforcement sources.
When his gold Toyota pick-up truck was pulled over for a minor signaling infraction along a stretch of I-20 near Midland, Texas, on Saturday, Ator blasted approaching state troopers, seriously wounding one, authorities have said.
He then peeled off, firing indiscriminately with his AR-style rifle out of the truck as he floored it towards Odessa, authorities said.
Along the way, he killed a USPS worker and hijacked her mail truck, continuing the spree, officials said.
He made his last stand in the parking lot of an Odessa movie theater, where he was killed in a shootout with cops as horrified onlookers prayed for their lives.
Authorities are yet to identify a concrete motive behind the onslaught.

I bet they are hiding that someone reported him to the local FBI. Just like others.

Stop posting mylife info. It needs to be banned on this board. It is in fact that much garbage. The info is very, very wrong most of the time. Are you trying to say you don't believe Seth Ator is a Jewish Native American with 9 kids?

Apparently, he’s Antifa. Why am I not surprised?Do we have any actual evidence he associated with Antifa other than someone on YouTube saying so?
I could just as easily claim with zero evidence that he's a Proud Boy.

The motive is clearly leftist indoctrination.
