On Friday, in Midland, Texas, an as-yet unidentified gunman opened fire, resulting in one victim killed and at least nine wounded. The shooter, as of this writing, has barricaded himself in a building, which is surrounded by police.
At least one person is dead and others were injured in an active shooting situation while the suspect has barricaded himself inside a building in downtown Midland, Texas, Midland Mayor Lori Blong said in a Friday press conference.
Midland Mayor Lori Blong said there were 11 victims in total, and that police have established a perimeter and are asking residents to avoid the area. It was not clear exactly where the gunfire took place.
