Multiple victims reported in Odessa, Texas shooting spree

Police in Odessa, Texas are searching for potentially multiple shooters in the area.

A police spokesperson first confirmed to Heavy over the phone that officers were not yet sure how many shooters there were, or where all of the gunmen were potentially located.

The spokesperson also confirmed that there are multiple victims who have been injured. We asked to clarify whether any of the shooting victims had been killed. She reiterated that so far there were multiple injuries. The suspect is believed to be driving a gold colored car.

The City of Odessa has since confirmed to CBS7 that at least 20 victims have been injured. Information on fatalities is not yet known.

I got a feeling this is going to be another big one.

Maybe the USA should consider gun controll, it works in Australia and UK.

Apparentley, one of the shooters hijacked a post van.

Apparently death toll currently is 2 dead 20+ injured, one suspect in custody

Yes, but remember Las Vagas Massacre news broke with only a few fatalities.......

The US is not Australia or the UK. The US is a country of over 325 million people, with just as many, if not more, guns.

One of the suspects was shot dead, and the other was arrested.

Correction: Looks like it's only one shooter.

Two vehicles that were shot at during the shooting.

Kind of an odd shooting... wonder if he meant to only target the cops he was fleeing from and just was a bad shot?

Yep.

Just waiting for them to release the name of the suspect and the weapons he used so I can record it in my mass shootings log

Apparently it all began when he was stopped by the police in his vehicle? If this turns out to be true, then this doesn’t sound like your typical mass shooting. It sounds like he truly just “snapped.”

We almost made it through the rest of the month without another kill-spree. Almost.

I was kinda expecting something to happen since there was something like thirty or forty people arrested this month for threatening to go postal.

Wonder if there’s any more victims like how Elliot had stabbed people something might have built up to this

I am honestly surprised it didn't happen sooner given the amount of people that threatened to pull something this month.

Odessa. Hmm, interesting. In Ukraine exist city with the same name.

It seems he was fired a few hours before the shooting:

The West Texas man who killed seven people and wounded 25 in a shooting rampage bought his gun in a private sale, which doesn't require a background check, a law enforcement official told CNN.
Police have described the firearm Seth Ator, 36, used in Saturday's killing spree in and around Odessa, Texas, as an AR-15-style rifle.
Ator tried to buy a firearm on January 14, 2014, but wasn't allowed to, the Texas Department of Public Safety told CNN in an email.
The department is prohibited by law from disclosing the reason he was denied the purchase, the DPS said.

Ator failed a background check when he applied to get a gun, a representative for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said Monday, without giving details.
The ATF, the FBI and the DPS are "aggressively following up on" the source that supplied the firearm to Ator, the ATF representative said.

A neighbor of the gunman who killed seven people in West Texas described him as "a violent, aggressive person" that would fire his guns at all hours of the night.
Rocio Gutierrez tells The Associated Press that her family has lived near Seth Ator for the past five months. But she says they were afraid of him.
Gutierrez says Ator would go out at night and shoot at animals, mostly rabbits. She also says Ator recently came over and knocked on their door around 4 a.m., but they didn't answer because it was "frightening."

So I guess this makes yet another mass shooter who was known for cruelty to animals and failed to pass a background check. Fucking yeash.

Shooting rabbits is not animal cruelty.

The way they made it seem I took it to mean that he was killing squirrels or birds something too.

And hell, it caused enough concern to make the neighbors afraid of him, so who knows? Maybe he was shooting them in such a way that they were just laying there bleeding out?

Hm, yeah he must have been doing something else to them. Perhaps, not shooting to kill just to maim.
