That is extremely interesting. From Wiki,
"Adderall[note 1] is a combination medication containing four salts of amphetamine. Adderall is used in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy. It is also used as an athletic performance enhancer and cognitive enhancer, and recreationally as an aphrodisiac and euphoriant. It is a central nervous system (CNS) stimulant of the phenethylamine class. By salt content, the active ingredients are 25% levoamphetamine salts (the levorotatory or 'left-handed' enantiomer) and 75% dextroamphetamine salts (the dextrorotatory or 'right-handed' enantiomer)"
There you go . . .

He was a meth head. Talked to his boss.

Now that makes sense. He got fired for a dirty UA and figured his ex-employer had called the law on him. The routine traffic stop set off a running gun battle with LEOs.

“failing to use a turn single”

What’s a turn single?

“As a drug addict (which was why he was fired)”

Has that been established?

If he was fired over a failed
drug test, his CDL would have
been revoked, thereby ending
his truck driving career.

I live there. I don’t need media sources.

I know exactly where this guy lived, where he worked, and why he got fired.

It was a refusal to test, btw. Not a positive.

He refused to test. You get fired but no revocation.

They just “study up” for the next test and move on to the next company.

He was pulled over Saturday by state troopers for failing to use a turn single before beginning firing, according to police.

I didn’t realize that you had to signal before firing.

The answer is no. It hasn’t been verified and it won’t be.

Well his boss hauls for me. I have it from the source who fired the guy.

The oil business is not as big as one would think. All relationships.

Go look at my post history. I noted it was a truck driver long before it was public.

Not really. Odessa perp had already failed a background test. No new law would have made a difference in this case.

Trump is right. It’s a mental health problem.

I had a bat**** crazy relative with multiple involuntary commitments. When not locked up, he was loose with a gun, and there wasn’t a thing we could do about it. So fortunate he never hurt anyone.

...had been fired from his trucking job...

It might be interesting to find out why he was fired.

I believe it has been reported elsewhere that he refused to take a drug test.

Was he part of a dysfunctional family - divorced parents, no father around...?

What about his own situation? Was he married? Girlfriend? Kids? What did he do for a living?

He was a drug zombie. If he’d been busted often enough, he wouldn’t have been free to murder people.

No clue about home life.

I know he was acting irrationally. His boss told him to come in and take a drug test. He refused, so they fired him.
