A mass random shooting in western Texas has left “multiple gunshot victims”, local police say.
At least one gunman was said to have driven round the western city of Odessa and shot randomly at people.
A US Postal Service van is said to have been hijacked.
Police say a suspect has been shot and killed and there is no active shooting incident at this time, but reports of other suspects are being investigated.
“A subject (possibly 2) is currently driving around Odessa shooting at random people,” Odessa Police said in a Facebook post.
“At this time there are multiple gunshot victims. The suspect just hijacked a US mail carrier truck.”
Police in the neighbouring city of Midland said: “We believe there are two shooters in two separate vehicles. 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.”
They later posted: “It has been confirmed that the active shooter was shot and killed at the Cinergy in Odessa. There is no active shooter at this time. All agencies are investigating reports of possible suspects.”
