Texas mass shooter had record of criminal trespass and evading arrest
The Washington Examiner ^ | September 01, 2019 06:35 PM | Zachary Halaschak

Details are beginning to emerge about the gunman who killed seven and injured at least 19 others during a shooting rampage in Odessa and Midland, Texas on Saturday.

The suspect, identified as 36-year-old Seth Ator, had a criminal record dating back to his teenage years.

In 2002, Ator pleaded guilty to criminal trespassing and evading arrest, both misdemeanors in Texas. He avoided jail time but received two years of probation according to public records, which indicate the crimes took place in McLennan County. Adjudication was deferred in the case, which can be granted to first-time offenders and allows a conviction to be kept off of one’s record.

He also got a traffic citation in 2018 for a federal motor carrier safety violation while in Ector County, the same county in which Odessa is located.

According to ABC 25, Ator was from Lorena, Texas, a small city of about 1,500 people located in the Waco metropolitan area in the central-eastern part of the state. People who knew Ator said that he graduated from Lorena High School in 2001, a school that currently enrolls about 570 students. People in the area said they had lost touch with the Ator family over the past five years.

Ator’s parents divorced in 1987, and his mother and father now live in Amarillo and San Antonio respectively, according to Heavy. He reportedly has one sister, and his family has long roots in Texas.

Almost never mentioned in these stories but just wondering if this guy was a habitual drug user and if so which drugs. Suspect the majority of these crazy mass shooters have a history of habitual drug use.

That screen shot is from MyLife, which is so unreliable that what you posted might be the exact opposite of what is real.

Pretty much anyone can edit any profile for anyone else on MyLife.

Loser misniformation site that would best be purged from the internet.

[He looks like a half-baked stoner incel]


I’m a little skeptical about the whole incel phenomenon. Seems to me that in the current free-for-all environment, you have to have unrealistic standards or be seriously anti-social to be an incel. A volcel I understand. An incel has to be like the abominable snowman - people talk about it, but nobody’s ever seen one.

Looking around, apparently no photos of the gold Toyota.

Exactly. Where was he working and who was his boss as of two days ago? A trespassing back when he was a teen doesn’t mean a lot.

PLEASE, gaijin,
stop posting MyLife bios as if they were worth 2cents!!

If I knew your real name, I’d post yours! LOL. :^)

Seriously, those bios are totally bogus! Mine & everyone in my family. Supposedly my 80 yr old retired schoolteacher sister is worth a million, AND has a criminal record!

(Traffic violations are “criminal.” She has one ticket- failure to wear a seatbelt! She’s on teacher’s pension & lives in a $80k condo!)

Come on mumblypeg, let’s get it together:

That photo was at CNN.

Are you familiar with CNN..?

Let’s stop just going along with the crowd, saying foolish things.

Come on, you’re better than that.

Clean up your act, okay?

Not his photo, right..?

https://www.thedailybeast.com/odessa-texas-shooting-sources-identify-gunman-as-seth-ator

It’s amazing. One person said MyLife, and all these people assumed THAT is where I got the photo.

They just all went along with it.

There it is, at the DailyBeast.

Finally a picture of the mail truck. It's an SUV and not a truck so not as clumsy to drive or an opening on the side for better aiming as some have suggested.

Re: 9 - that also says he has *9* kids.

Does that seem reasonable? Or believable?

Divorced with 9 kids, eh?
I think we’ve found his motive.
That’s enough child support to send *any* native American Jew — whose net worth is half his income— ‘round the bend.

Seriously, g, stop posting this nonsense. You’re embarrassing yourself.
