It is unclear how the gunman, identified Sunday as 36-year-old Seth Aaron Ator, obtained the AR-style rifle he used when he opened fire on Saturday, fatally shooting a trooper, two police officers and four others.
I’m very interested to see what the gun trace is going to uncover. And if it can be determined if it was a private sale or stolen?
Given that we’re all so skeptical, I won’t be surprised to learn that this was a private sale and will obviously be used for the push for, universal background checks. Amazing how certain events can happen at such an opportune time, to push an agenda. The timing is amazing.
Everything and nothing about this case makes sense.
The shooter was shooting animals off his roof, according to a NEIGHBOR, but the cops couldn’t find his house. But the FBI found it and did a search warrant on it.
He called the police and FBI before the shooting started.....kind of like posting a manifesto on 8chan or something like that, huh?
He was getting pulled over, never stopped, which means the cops shouldn’t have stopped and got out of their cars, and he was able to turn around in the driver seat with a rifle and shoot the cops.
Then he drove from Midland to Odessa, stopping and shooting people intermittently and the cops never engaged him or tried to run his car off the road.
This guy was nothing but a patsy and we’re being played.
The cops were (reportedly) trying to pull him over for failure to use a turn signal when the incident began. To be fair, there are the Barney Fifes of this world who are itching to write a ticket for the slightest offense, but if law enforcement followed that standard strictly, they could never respond to more serious crimes, because they’d spend 95% of their time pulling over motorists.
It has been reported that cops were trailing the suspect after his phone calls to local police and the FBI and being fired from his job. The “failure to use a turn signal” was the pretext to bring him in, and it failed horribly. Then, he speeds off towards Midland, shooting people at random, and law enforcement doesn’t catch up with him until the suspect reaching the parking lot of that movie theater.
Oh, and the gunman had a Beto sticker on his car. No wonder the media is losing interest so fast.
