Midland Mayor Jerry Morales told CNN the shooter was shot and killed in the parking lot of a movie theatre: “We’re hoping it’s just one shooter and we have contained him.”
Morales said he did not know anything about the suspect or what his motive was. He said one police officer was shot and was in surgery with non-life-threatening injuries.
The television station reported that armed police ran through the Music City Mall in Odessa where CBS7 is located and the building went on lockdown.
The shooting came after 22 people were killed at a Walmart store about 255 miles west of Midland in the city of El Paso, Texas on Aug. 2.
