Authorities said Seth Aaron Ator killed seven people and injured 22 others Saturday before officers killed him outside a busy movie theater in Odessa.

Police say they are not sure why a man with a misdemeanor on his record and no warrant for his arrest erupted in a spate of violence after a routine traffic stop in West Texas,, including a man slain outside his parents' home and a teenager fatally shot as she left a car dealership with her family.

Authorities said those killed were between 15 and 57 years old but did not immediately provide a list of names. Family and employers, however, said that among the dead were Edwin Peregrino, 25, who ran out of his parents' home to see what the commotion was; mail carrier Mary Granados, 29, slain in her U.S. Postal Service truck; and 15-year-old high school student Leilah Hernandez, who was walking out of an auto dealership.

Odessa Police Chief Michael Gerke said there were still no answers pointing to a motive for the chaotic attacks, which began when Texas state troopers tried pulling over a gold car on Interstate 20 for failing to signal a left turn. "Local law enforcement and state troopers pursued him and stopped him from possibly going into a crowded movie theater and having another event of mass violence," FBI special agent Christopher Combs said.

The shooting came at the end of an already violent month in Texas, where on Aug. 3 a gunman in the border city of El Paso killed 22 people at a Walmart. Sitting beside authorities in Odessa, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott ticked off a list of mass shootings that have now killed nearly 70 since 2016 in his state alone.

Cause he was bored and lives in a country, where it is easier to get a gun than a beer.

He can buy an assault rifle in a local supermarket in a country founded on the glorified genocide of the indigenous population, who have bombed 33 countries since 1950 and who have presently troops active in 7 foreign countries.

He had a gun and wanted to kill people with it.

Because he could, and that’s the fucking problem
