Citizens in T-shirts reading"Permian Basin Strong" descended on a vigil in Odessa, Texas, Sunday night one day after a man opened fire on residents while driving across multiple towns in western Texas. Seven people were killed and over 20 injured before the shooter was finally gunned down by police officers outside a movie theater.
Many of those in attendance at the vigil, held inside the quad at the University of Texas of the Permian Basin, drew Bible verses or messages of support in chalk on the blacktop nearby. Portraits of some of the victims also began to emerge on Sunday, including Mary Granados, 29, who was shot by the suspect while he hijacked her U.S. Postal Service vehicle.
Also among the dead was 15-year-old Leilah Hernandez, who had just celebrated her quinceañera three months ago, according to The Associated Press. She was shot in the parking lot of a car dealership.
