Midland‘s mayor, Jerry Morales, told The New York Times that two people were killed in the shooting, adding that the suspect or suspects were firing „at random people.“

„They are shooting at random,“ he told the newspaper. „We have two fatalities and up to 20 injuries.“

Those numbers were later updated at a Midland police press conference to include 21 people injured in the shootings and five dead. The suspect was not included in the victim count.

Morales also added to the Times that one suspect, who was wounded by police, had been apprehended: „One suspect is in custody. I’m not sure if he is alive.”

Midland police later confirmed that the suspect at the Cinergy movie theater was killed by police.
