For countless people in the West Texas cities of Midland and Odessa, Saturday was a day of terror and tragedy as a gunman went on a violent rampage that left 7 dead and many more injured.
Odessa grandmother Shauna Saxton says she narrowly escaped becoming a victim, and described a dramatic encounter with the suspected gunman, explaining how she locked eyes with him while driving.
A gold car pulled up, and the man was there, and he had a very large gun, and it was pointing at me, Saxton explained in an emotional interview with local station CBS7.
Saxton, as she explains, was driving north on Odessas Loop 338 with her husband and grandson Saturday afternoon when she heard a series of loud popping sounds and then saw the gunman drive up next to them.
He was looking at me. I saw his face. I saw that weapon. The only thing I could think about was my little grandson in the back seat. I just thought Oh my god, what if something happened to him?'
Saxton says she drove aggressively, trying to get away as the gunman tailed her vehicle. Eventually, she was able to escape onto a side street, only to realize that others near the shooters car were still in danger.
