Believe it or not, this was unrelated to shooter. Once shit started hitting the fan a bunch of fuckstains decided to come out and pull some shit. It was chaos because law enforcement couldn't figure out if all the other shit going down was directly connected to the shooter. So kinda like the video on the first page where the guy says he should go steal some shit towards the end, apparently a bunch of sorry fucks had the same thought and acted on it.
To the people saying its a bad idea to go into Home Depot and wondering about CHL holders and all of that- he did all of this while in a moving vehicle except for when he stopped and killed the USPS lady for her mail van in a residential neighborhood. I'm not sure how many of you are unfortunate enough to have visited Odessa but nearly all of the places he shot at are along the main road that connects Midland to Odessa and feeds to all of the stores and most busy shopping centers. Home Depot, Twin Peaks, the dealership where people were shot, the movie theater Cinergy- where he ended up being killed and probably would've gone inside shooting it up given the chance- all pretty much on the same road and within 3 or 4 miles of one another. There are a few spots where he veered off and shot indiscriminately-15 crime scenes total and all but one shooting done from his vehicle I think.
So it probably didn't matter how many CHL holders or 'good guys with guns' there were because he was shooting from either his truck or the mail van
