At least six people were killed and 21 injured during shootings in and around the cities of Odessa and Midland, Texas, Saturday.

A gunman, identified as a white male in his mid-30s, was shot and killed by police in Odessa.

Police originally believed two suspects were at large, with one driving a hijacked mail truck and "shooting at random people," while the other was thought to be driving a "gold/white small Toyota truck." However, police now believe there was only one gunman in a gold Honda who at one point ditched the vehicle and took U.S. Postal Vehicle to a local theater where a shootout with police ensued.
