Shooter Killed After At Least 5 People Are Fatally Shot, And 21 Are Injured In West Texas

Earlier we reported about a shooter being at large in a hijacked mail truck in Texas. According to the Odessa Police Department, the shooter had been “shooting at random people,” causing multiple gunshot victims.

According to CNN, at least five people were killed and 21 people were injured as a result of the shooting. Odessa Police Chief Michael Gerke announced that the shooter was later killed.

The suspect was reportedly driving a vehicle at one point, and later ditched the car and hijacked a United States Postal Service mail truck. Officers were able to make contact with the suspect the Cinergy movie theater. The suspect exchanged gunfire with officials before being shot and killed.

A name and motive for the shooting were not released, but the suspect was identified as white and in his 30’s.

Three law enforcement were injured, one from the Department of Public Safety, another officer from the Midland Police Department and another from the Odessa Police Department.

Jerry Morales, the Mayor of Midland told the outlet that the Public Safety officer pulled over the vehicle on the interstate. “That’s when he shot the officer and then took off and started shooting randomly. Everything happened after that,” said Morales.

If you all remember it was only four weeks ago where another shooting took place in Texas. A mass shooting occurred after someone killed and injured multiple people at a Walmart in El Paso, TX. Less than 24 hours after that shooting, another shooting occurred in Dayton, OH where multiple injuries and fatalities occurred.

We are sending our prayers to those who have been affected by this recent shooting.

Most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by their Pastors – Papa Shee

Evangelist Papa Shee says most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by Pastors. According to him, most Pastors in Ghana currently are occults and with the way they are been celebrated by their followers, they initiate them into occult groups without their knowledge. He mentioned that Ghanaians lack knowledge and that has always been the reason why Pastors take advantage of them.

Residents of Samreboi cry on gov’t to fix their roads

Residents of Samreboi are up in arms with the Government of Ghana over neglect of their roads. According to residents, It has become very worrying as their bad road network is affecting not only economic activities but also their social activities. Residents of the timber and Cocoa producing town in the Western Region of Ghana say they have been unfairly treated by several governments; the neglect they say they do not know what to attribute it to. A worrying feature of their roads they say is the fact that moving from Samreboi to neighbouring villages and towns become impossible especially during the rainy season hence bringing economic activities to a standstill. Residents say even though the year has been declared “Year of Roads” they are yet to see a kilometre of road being constructed.
