”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."

The Odessa police Facebook page said the mail carrier truck was hijacked.

Wouldn’t be surprising, if they changed vehicles, with the description getting out. They’re probably listening to the news on whatever vehicle they have.

They better hope the cops find them before the good ole boys that live in that part of Texas find them.  And that's all I'm saying about that.

Midland mayor Jerry Morales said the attack started shortly after 4pm local time on Interstate 20 and Highway 191, which connects Midland to Odessa.

He said: "They are shooting at random. We have two fatalities and up to 20 injuries.”

The shooting was "planned by a group", police sources told News West 9.

Sounds like there may have been another posting, prior to the shooting, as was the case with El Paso
