Will be felt along floridas coast within 24 hours. Were watching breaking news out of texas. The fbi now involved in the investigation of five people that were killed and 21 others injured in a mass shooting. After a traffic stop, this is jed afternoon in midland texas. Police shot and killed the gunman in a Movie Theater parking lot. The shooter was a male, a white male in his 30s. And we want to start there in texas. The shooting rampage that we say started with a traffic stop between the cities of midland and odessa. Were talking about a 20 mile stretch now. So after shooting a state trooper during a traffic stop, investigators say the suspect drove down the highway, randomly shooting other victims, according to authorities he then stole the mail truck, killed its driver before being cornered by police and then killed in that shoot out in the mall parking lot. Oh my god. Hes fixing to shoot. Oh my god. Are you shooting that man right there . I dont know, i cant see. That looks like a mail thing. We definitely neutralized the target. This is crazy. Somebody is on the ground. Ed is joining us now from outside of the Police Station there in texas. Investigators say they have identified that shooter. Have not released the name and have not released a motive. Have they indicated at least when they may release at least the name of the shooter and why theyre holding it for now . We dont have any indication on that only that it is a white male in his 30s. This is a crime scene that is spread out over many parts of the cities here of odessa and midland and its very evident as you drive around town. You can see pockets of small individual crime scenes where bullet fragments and bullets were fired off into these areas as authorities described this gunman was simply driving around the area randomly shooting at people from his car. It was a wild and surreal scene here that it lead investigators and Law Enforcement here to urge people to get off the roads to protect themselves and those warnings went out for several hours on saturday afternoon. One woman came face to face with the gunman and the emotional way she described what that was like for her. We had a pop, pop, pop. But it was loud and you could feel the percussion, is that what its called . And i said to dan, im like, is that did that car just backfire . He was confused because it didnt really sound like a car backfiring and right oh, gah, okay, i was i looked over my should shoulder and the gold car pulled up and the man was there and he had a very large gun and it was pointing at me and in that moment the only thing that i could think about was driving away really fast but there were two cars in front of me. I started honking my horn. I started swerving just trying to we got a little ahead of him and then for whatever reason the cars in front of us parted a little bit and i made my way away from the gold car and right when i did that i heard three more shots. The thing is if i had not looked over my shoulder, i wouldnt have seen it and i wouldnt have reacted. The panic and emotion evident as you listen to her speaking about what it was like. In the end, five dead. Nearly two diseaozen injured. One of the dead includes a Public School student here in odessa and one of the injured, a 17 month old child who we are told was air lifted to a hospital in lubbock, texas, north of here and is in satisfactory condition. Good to hear that. Thank you. And just from listening to her, you can see that when you think about it, its been four weeks since the el paso shooting. This community in texas as a whole is carrying a lot on their shoulders. Were hearing from eyewitnesses that were just shocked about what they saw. The shooter was pulled over on the interstate and pulled over and thats when he shot the officer and took off and started shooting randomly and everything happened after that. Just driving around normal day. I got one on my door and ricochet right here. Cant get it out here. Piece of medal. Thats a scratch instead of a bullet hole. Anybody that hears the sound of my voice you need to grasp on to your loved ones and you need to pray for this town and all the families and the victims involved. You need to hold on to them because this is a scary incident and nobody is guaranteed tomorrow and if you are here and you can hear my voice please take a minute to stop. We just kept our microphones on so we can get you up to date because this is not something that we thought would ever happen here. Theres more officers with guns here. I just saw them. I saw three deputies coming by with guns drawn so we dont know if someone is in here. This is very active here in the mall so im going to keep it here. Let me go back to the Police Department and bear with me because were trying to get all the details we can. We have to disappear. Were going to keep our mikes on so we can keep you up to date. Were told to get out of here. Noticed a lady on the ground in front of a gold car. The window was broken out. I thought maybe she had been run over so i put my car in park and i jumped out thinking maybe she needed cpr or something when i had walked up to her she was already gone. So thats when i got i started walking to my car and the people that were crying told me to get in my car and go home because there was an active shooter still on the street. Supervisory special agent and Law Enforcement analyst with cnn. The question, why, people want an answer to that but when the suspect has been killed and there will be no prosecution, is there any less urgency for investigators to get that answer . There isnt and i would argue that with the subject deceased that makes Law Enforcements job that much harder. We were working our sources and i talked to someone yesterday. Last night. They said they were working to try to get a search warrant associated with the resident of the shooter. They have identified him. Authorities know who this is. That was something that we were working to identified yesterday. We are told that he is identified. They are working to search a residence and thats important because they want to get to not only the motivation but rule out whether anyone else may have been involved in this and to your question, that gets to the question of timing. Time is of the essence. I think the fact that they have not yet released a name tells us that authorities are confident and they know who the person is otherwise wed see them appealing to the public trying to gather information to get to who this person was, the motivation and the like. That said, we cant expect and some of our colleagues were reporting here that probably about three hours theres going to be a press conference from local officials where we can expect more information but until that point well have authorities continuing to dig into this person not only physically but digitally and relation relationally. My first question was going to be about the possibility of a second shooter thats still out there but the other thing is when you think about the fact that this guy was shooting he was firing and he was hitting people while he was driving. What does that tell you about the kind of experience this guy had and im assuming that would also lead to possibly gun ranges and other places they might be able to garner more information about him. Theres a lot we dont know about him. And one interesting part, people talking about that this was maybe another domestic terrorist. Maybe someone went out trying to target Law Enforcement. Right now we simply do not know. It appears that this happened in response to a traffic stop. Someone that simply didnt want to be taken into custody. Did he have a criminal history . Was he wanted . An arrest warrant . That will be part of the investigation but hes now causing violence in this community and whether he started shooting people in order to district Law Enforcement and presumably wanted to and you have the last moments of the shooting but until that happened so much chaos and another tragedy brought to an American Community by someone with a gun. Josh lets go to that question there. There were 65 People Killed in Mass Shootings in america in august. Thats according to the gun violence archive that keeps those numbers. Five killed in a mass shooting. A single one in texas yesterday but there were five People Killed in other Mass Shootings in chicago and philadelphia and charlotte yesterday. We ask this question in a political context and rightfully so. But from a Law Enforcement perspective what reduces this . Politics aside is there something that makes this less likely . Absolutely. The common denominator is a firearm. The common denominator is the weapon and we see this like clock work. You and i were just there in el paso and in the immediate aftermath folks say its too soon to talk about this. Youre being political. Well when is it okay to talk about it. You tell us that. The common denominator is access to the firearm and i think what these people bank on, those that say we cant talk about the weapon used to kill people, they bank on the fact that people will get destraistracted and mo. I heard a local official in texas saying texans have come together before and we will come together again. I dont know how they do it with a straight face. Theyre coming together at Funeral Homes and to bury their own without addressing their problem. If you have four Mass Shootings, high profile in a single month, you dont have enough time between them for whatever specific time theyre talking about. Thank you so much. Thanks. We have evidence that Hurricane Dorian is making landfall in the northern bahamas. We got this video. You can see the rough surf and winds picking up here. That water doing more than lapping up on to the shore. Outer bands of Hurricane Dorian are coming on to the shore. Lets go to allison in the weather center. Those conditions are going to deteriorate all throughout the day as well as into monday because the system is going to slow down which means all of these heavy rain bands, the strong winds, lightning, all of this stuff is going to continue to impact the islands in the bahamas over the next 24 to 48 hours. Now freeport remains dry but it wont be for long as the system continues to make its way to the west. That was looking at the Bahamas Meteorology Department radar. Its a strong storm right now. The track wants to continue to the west. The track now pushed a little bit farther west. Now include a little bit more of florida than we have in past runs. It will shift north. It will. The question has always been when. Because when we find out the when, then we can determine whether or not there will be a true landfall in florida or will it just skirt up the east coast . Head to North Carolina or South Carolina or make landfall across georgia. Any of these areas are going to have impacts. Youll still have storm surge and very Strong Tropical Storm force winds. Youre still going to have incredibly heavy rain up and down the areas. Its very likely you could see these expand up to the coast. You need to get closer to the landfall point to try to determine when the storm starts to veer to the north. For right now, palm beach and northern suburbs of miami are in the Tropical Storm warnings. Allison, thank you for watching it for us. And she was telling us some of these wind gusts are 185 Miles Per Hour. Well take you to freeport on the other side of the break. Stay close. Mountain Coffee Roasters costa rica paraiso. Meet sergio.

Hurricane dorian making landfall in the bahamas. Sustained winds up to 150 Miles Per Hour but gusts up to 185. So preparing for the strong winds they spent saturday filling sandbags to protect their homes. Boarding up windows. Officials say if residents in evacuation areas are staying in their homes, theyre now on their owns. Some refuse to leave but we made it clear to them if this come in as a category 4. Theres only a window of opportunity of assistance. The police will not be coming for you in the middle of a hurricane. You will have to hunker down. If your head is hard and stubborn and you will not move, youll have to hunker down after a stubborn time because nobody will be rendering assistance to you. The Cnn International correspondent is in freeport. Patrick, that wind has picked up just a bit since our last conversation about 45 minutes ago. There was no winds. And you can feel things getting going. We have been told it will be maybe an hour or so and then full on Hurricane Force winds by this evening. Its hitting about 80 miles. About 80 miles to the east of us right now. And it is expected to progress to freeport. Its actually a very bad thing. Its powerful. That gives us more time to inflict absolute crippling devastation to smashing windows to great storm surge and to just wreak more havoc on a place which is a very low lying island which is the highest point on this island is only 30 feet. So when you hear about a storm surge that could top 15 feet were talking about an event thats going to submerge part of this island under water for perhaps hours. That is incredibly dangerous. Thats why authorities have actually begged people to get out of the low lying areas. And the shelters are going to close last night and as you said people have not followed the warnings, they are on their own right now. You and the crew take good care of each other and yourselves there. We want you to be all right as well. Thank you.
