A database shows that the West Texas shooting brings the number of mass killings in the U.S. so far this year to 25, which is as many mass killings as in all of 2018.
Tippin says seven of the shooting victims are listed in critical condition, including several who have already completed surgeries, and two others are in serious condition. Texas Department of Public Safety spokeswoman Katherine Cesinger says Saturday that one of two state troopers conducting the traffic stop was shot. She says the suspect then fled “and continued shooting innocent people,” including two other police officers.
Tippin says social workers and professional counselors are at the hospital to provide support to the families of shooting victims. He also said the hospital has been locked down for the safety of the staff and patients.Odessa Police Chief Michael Gerke has said that at least five people died from the shooting. He said three law enforcement officers were injured and at least 21 civilians were shot.Police say the suspect killed after a West Texas shooting spree was a white male in his 30s.
cryborg Maybe psycho was already on his way to do a shoot'em'up, and feared he be found out, or already was found out, so was doing the original plan anyhow. Gotta think nutty, to cover the nutty these days.
kfdmnews We need to back our police and see they have all the equipment they need to be as safe. Thank you all for your service.
And american justice forever
One can’t put the toothpaste back into the tube, good luck to good citizens out and about that have to dodge bullets everyday
What’s his name and how was he radicalized?
Something tells me this guy must NOT be a 'right wing extremist.' Because, if he was, you would have heard about it five minutes after he was killed, and the left would not shut up about it. Strange that his identity hasn't been reported.
Solution: Give everyone guns so that more people like this have a chance at having guns. Wait, hold on...
govabbott says we need more guns. Apparently we need them to defend ourselves from rogue traffic cops. This blood is on your hands, governor!
Scary. I would think law enforcement would be all for licensing of gun ownership as they may have an idea of what they are walking into.

Triggered snowflake. Needed a safe space. So emotional
What the hell?
Culture drives behavior. Leftists own the culture. So great job on upping your bodycount Democrats.
EdButtaccio So is this one of those white supremacist who was prepared for a shootout?
Like I tell my kids, that’s not a reason
Money before lives.
KTLA Oh that's a good reason to shoot people, Gawd forbid if someone asked him to take out the trash!

Too much popo control makes people snap

If only we had more guns available...
Gotta ban left turns now
Jinxy_Minxy OMG.....
don’t cops just call on this one when they need to pull someone over
An interstate highway full of cars and the troopers just happen to stop a guy with a loaded AR15 and plenty of ammo for a minor traffic violation they probably wouldn’t enforce on any given day... I’m gong to go ahead and call bullshit on this one.
Americans must understand that freely available guns won't give them any safety against criminals but have become a danger to society.
Unfortunately this is becoming commonplace and MoscowMitch doesn't care. Tragically , it's just another day at the office for him.
KTLA And he just happens to have a gun with him. Okay...something is not adding up. This was pre-meditated for sure!!
Has President Trump scheduled his boot licking session with Wayne LaPierre yet?
This is the world the NRA has created for America the last 40 years.
Uh oh...he might be black if it was a traffic stop that caused this!?
That's why they stopped him. Failure to signal a left turn? My god...
Maybe we should look at shutting down white men driving cars until we can figure this whole thing out.
He got pulled over for not signaling? What kind of rule is that?
He probably could have taken the ticket to court and got it dropped tbh
How many white people you know fail to do anything when driving?
I could be wrong here but this seems to be an over reaction to this situation....
He must have had some bad warrants on him and didn't want to be taken in !

How many have been shot and killed in Chicago alone this year?
Road Rage or Cop Hater
Didn't a Texas cop a few weeks ago tazer an old lady for an $80 broken tail light ticket? In Texas they don't give fix it tickets?
Wtf
Police department must have known about him. But did nothing. That will come out. Bet you Trump has ordered they fix his social media to make it look like mental illness.
Whatever we do let's not blame the shooter.Geez
Yes, but do we know what video game he was playing that triggered his shooting spree?
Umm so what were they guilty of for doing this for being pulled over for failure to signal?
Oh...in Texas again.
selectedwisdom God who’d be a police officer these day? These guys are heroes.
Yep, there you go. They need guns to stand up to the tyranny of the state. It's nobody's business which way he's turning.
That's totally normal
KTLA Are you kidding me?
JosephTDeters Hamilton County Ohio Prosecutor, Would probably call this a “chicken crap” reason to stop someone, but the facts are it sometimes exposes CRIMINAL THUGS and gives tools to cops trying to take them off our streets. Willie700WLW backtheblue
Another ‘well-regulated militia’ -style response: shooting innocents.

Refusing to signal left, classic dog whistles to alt-right racists *sarcasm*
America has gone mad. The slightest little thing sets off the nuts.
selectedwisdom Everyone on a short fuse in trump world!
Imagine a situation where failing to signal for a turn suddenly triggers somebody to commit a mass shooting
Proportional response

Well we know you deal at least’
Yay Texas! Signed, Sad Lifelong Texan
But but guns aren’t the problem?
White Police Officers always kill unarmed black people yet the real threat usually looks like them.
He shoulda used his left turn signal.
No it began when the guy bought the gun. Everything that happened afterwards was an eventuality.
That cop deserves a medal. Always signal when turning. Period.
Yup. Still no reason to look at gun control.... let’s just keep the streak going ‘Murica.
Another white guy with a gun.
Seems legit. If you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime.
