A lone gunman fleeing Texas police stalked and shot people over a frenzied hour. Scanner traffic reveals the chaosMIDLAND, Texas — Going into this Labor Day Weekend, the Midland Police Department had one big concern. Car crashes.
The gunman seemed to strike at random, driving in no particular pattern while spraying innocent victims with bullets from his"AR-type" rifle, a weapon he was not technically allowed to own after failed background checks. Particularly apparent on the MPD scanner traffic is that, despite a growing police presence, the shooter’s whereabouts often appeared unknown.
Piecing together the gunman’s route based on landmark events over the course of that hour reveals a circuitous route that began with him racing west on Interstate 20, dipping into a maze of residential streets in Odessa and then doubling back east toward Midland on State Highway 191. The voices are professional, measured. But frustration creeps in quickly. At about 3:35 p.m., more than 20 minutes after the trooper was shot, nerves fray.
The crime scene from a mass shooting in Odessa, Texas, which ended with Seth Ator being shot dead by police in a stolen mail van.
