Two people were killed and up to 20 others were injured in shootings in Midland, Tex., on Saturday, the mayor, Jerry Morales, said.
He said the shootings began shortly after 4 p.m. local time, with two or possibly three gunmen targeting motorists on Interstate 20 and Highway 191, which connects Midland to Odessa, Tex.
“They are shooting at random,” Mr. Morales said. “We have two fatalities and up to 20 injuries.”
Mr. Morales said one of the gunmen had been wounded but it was not clear how.
The mayor said in a text message: “One suspect is in custody. I’m not sure if he is alive.”
The mayor added that a rifle was used in the shootings, though he could not be more specific about the type or number of firearms involved.
