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.

Yes they had said earlier that he was know to them.
Wonder what that meant.
Possibly. But has that been proven yet?
If true that would explain the creep's behavior.
That would explain why no information about Seth Ator's
background is being released.
It would expose the radical Democrat Party, their
left-wing, communist agenda and the fact that Seth Ator
and Antifa might be connected somehow to the
Democrat Party.
He just may be another Stephen Paddock, Las Vegas style "lone gunman" who shoots people for no reason and has his background
concealed from the public by the Feds and police.
They don't want to embarrass the Democrats.
It's an getting to close to the 2020 election
for America to find out these guys are Democrats
and Antifa.
Frankly I'd like to know the background of the people
who are investigating these shootings and coming up with
the "no known motive" conclusions!
Bartender looks up and asks, "is this a joke?"
Yep. Mylife said I was black and had a criminal record.
True
Yep and that’s what makes them pointless to identify.
The motive to the media is the most important. They need a justified good reason for a mass killing so they can move on except when he is assumed to be WHITE, MALE,SUPREMIST, GUN ENTHUSIAST, IN THIS CASE JEWISH FOR ALL THE ANTISEMITES AND A TRUMP SUPORTER THAT WAS USED IN PLACE OF A DEMOCRATIC VOTER
The lib social media companies you mean
It sounds like it was the last straw. He was on a downward spiral another article said. Then he got fired right before he left his job and got pulled over. He snapped.
His job called the police about him. He called the police about his job.
Yep! A classic "crash & burn"... Somewhere along the line he should have been locked up or assigned to hillary's security detail..
I read that he had threatened a neighbor with his firearm a few weeks earlier. The neighbor called the police, but they never came because they could not find the street. Apparently it’s a new street.
I’m gathering his firearm was illegally obtained. Had they showed up and found his firearm, this may not have happened.
