TX - Gunman in Hijacked Mail Truck, multiple victims, Midland/Odessa, 31 August 2019

[Inthedetails]

No warrant according to chief in the press conference. Also, he said the car never stopped. I don't know if the le had turned on lights and siren it not but he said the guy took off without ever stopping.

It's confusing to me how he was shooting while driving. I've never shot a gun, but doesn't a gun of the type he used take two hands?

Those with some experience, please chime in with how you think he managed this.

IDK, but it seems possible he had military training.

Perhaps he was also shooting at cars while stopped at a traffic light. If he was shooting with that accuracy while on the interstate, it sounds like he was very skilled.

It is interesting how we know the names of Nicholas Cruz, Adam Lanza, Dylan Klebold...immediately, but not the names of their victims.

For those who don't want to know the shooter's name, cover your eyes! It's being reported.

There have been so very many victims, how could we remember their names? Sad, but true.

I do remember learning about their loss of life, though. They are not forgotten.

Wow. Not local. I'm surprised. I totally expected someone local (but had no reason to think that). Looks like Lorena is south of Waco.

Oh, thanks, I missed that.
So it sounds like it was a police chase, only he shot at and murdered people along the way.
What a maniac. Imo

That is sounding more like I expected. So perhaps not only had experience with shooting but also experience with driving. Maybe his job explains why he chose shooting while driving as his method of rage. "Going postal" version of a trucker workplace rage????

Just thinking aloud, brainstorming.

According to CBS news he was pulled over because they had several reports that he was driving erratically.
I wonder if he was purposely trying to attract LE. Imo

I guess he's either from Midland, Odessa, or Lerana.

Call me a "conspiracy nut", but I think that there is more to this situation.
