One dead and 10 hurt as Texas police try to end standoff with barricaded suspect after ‘active shooting’

At least one person was killed and ten people were injured in an “active shooter incident” in Midland, Texas.

The Midland Police Department said officers are in a standoff with the suspect, who is reportedly barricaded inside a building. There are “11 known victims,” including one person who was killed, Mayor Lori Blong told reporters.

“Officers heard gunfire coming from the building and worked quickly to secure and clear the area. Armored units were deployed, and partner agencies assisted in the response. Efforts to bring the standoff with the shooter to a safe resolution are ongoing,” Midland Police Chief Greg Snow said in a statement.

Blong confirmed there’s only one known suspect. Investigators have yet to release any details about the suspect or victims.

“We already have a perimeter established, and the situation is now secured in that area. But we’re still asking that all Midlanders stay put,” the mayor said.

Police are urging the public to stay away from the area, located near the 4600 block of West Wall Street. Officials have set up a family reunification center at Midland Memorial Hospital.
