ODESSA (AP) – The victims of Saturday’s deadly shooting rampage in Odessa and Midland have been identified.
Seven people, between the ages of 15 and 57, were killed and 22 were injured when a gunman went on a violent shooting spree.
Investigators are still looking into what sparked the rampage.
Police said the shooting started with a traffic stop where the suspect, identified as 36-year-old Seth Ator, shot at police and took off in a gold car, shooting randomly for more than 10 miles.
Ator was eventually killed in a shootout with police in the parking lot of a movie theater in Odessa.
Now, the families of the victims and the communities they lived in are in mourning.
29-year-old Mary Granados was alone in her U.S. Postal Service truck when she was shot and killed by the suspect who hijacked the vehicle during the deadly spree.
