Active shooter situation- out on the streets... Midland/Odessa, Texas

[SilverBullet432]

This is happening right now in my hometown. All I know right now is that there are multiple active shooter reports, major intersections are locked down, cops everywhere, cops and citizens have been shot. My wife and I were out and about and got caught up in a roadblock. We were able to make it back home safely, but there are currently multiple active scenes with multiple people shot including LE. Midland/Odessa, Texas. Shooting apparently started in Midland and multiple shooters made their way towards Odessa. One shooter confirmed dead per LE scanner app. At least one still on the loose in a stolen vehicle. This is bad guys.. We’re at home hunkered down..

Here’s a link saying so far 20 have been injured:

This is really pissing me off at this point. We had a multiple shooting last night here, too.

Was just having a discussion with an acquaintance about why anyone would want to own a gun. How about when multiple active shooters are roaming around your area killing people and you want to protect your family?

Already on all the national networks, LE will be holding a press conference here at 5:30 CDT.

2 confirmed dead thus far. (One) shooter and (one) mail carrier who’s vehicle had been hijacked by the shooter.

Robbery gone wrong? I know a lot of diamonds go unmarked and anonymous through the post. Multiple shooters is always the first call but rarely pans out. Seems like this might be the exception to prove the rule.

Ive noticed these things tend to happen in bursts then nothing for a while. I think one inspires a few other nut jobs until things quiet back down.

Because the media makes them into celebrities which triggers copy cats. That's win win for the media, more ratings and more ammo for gun control.

Local news seems to have backed off the multiple shooters report? If the attacks were mobile it would very much appear to LE that there were multiple shooters, especially if the suspect was stealing cars.
