Midland officials say the incident started around 8 a.m., first as a shooting on the southeast side of the city and transitioning to a scene on the southwest side in the 4600 block of West Wall Street near Industrial Avenue.
Authorities were reportedly involved in a standoff with the shooter in an effort to bring the incident to a safe resolution. Later, officials confirmed that the suspect had died.
