ODESSA, Texas (AP) — Hundreds of people gathered at a local university in Odessa, Texas, Sunday evening for a prayer vigil for the seven people killed and 22 injured when a man pulled over in a police traffic stop Saturday went on a shooting rampage. Authorities say 36-year-old Seth Aaron Ator was arrested in 2001 for a misdemeanor offense that would not have prevented him from legally purchasing firearms in Texas. Authorities have not said where Ator got the “AR style” weapon he used.
