US officials revealed that no fewer than five people have been reportedly killed and 21 others sustained gunshot injuries in multiple gun attacks in Texas, USA.

 

According to a Facebook post by the Police in Midland, Texas, those officers were searching for two suspects along Interstate 20 in Texas. Later updates, however, revealed that only one shooter was involved in the Midland attacks, which occurred in multiple locations after reportedly beginning at a traffic stop along the interstate.

The Police wrote “We believe there are two shooters in two separate vehicles. One suspect is believed to be at the Cinergy in Midland and the other is believed to be driving on Loop 250 in Midland.

The two vehicles in question are gold/white small Toyota truck and a USPS Postal Van. Please stay away from these areas and stay indoors,...”.

Also, Vigil360 earlier gathered from International media outlets that, that a Home Depot outlet in Odessa, Texas, was also attacked by a shooter, but the home improvement retailer later denied the reports of an attack on its Odessa store.

However, the Police later confirmed that an active shooter was killed in Odessa, warning all residents to remain indoors until a clear understanding of the situation had been established.

Additionally, the suspect was said to have opened fire on people at random, hitting as many as possible before he was ultimately subdued by authorities.

He was described as a white male terrorist by the police, but his identity or motive was not immediately disclosed.

In a swift reaction, President Donald Trump tweeted on Saturday 31st August 2019 that he had been briefed of the shooting. Vice-President Mike Pence later tweeted that the president was following developments from Camp David, near Washington D.C., and sent his love to the families of the victims.
