The shooter who went on a rampage in West Texas had a reputation as a violent, scary aggressor, according to neighbors and co-workers. Both he and his employers at Journey Oilfield Services called police Saturday after he showed up to work enraged and his supervisors fired him. Later, he opened fire with a rifle when an officer pulled him over for not using a turn signal.

UPDATE: A West Texas gunman lost his job and called the police and FBI before going on a shooting spree on Saturday. The shooter, Seth Aaron Ator, “was on a long spiral down” before the killings, FBI special agent Christopher Combs said on Monday. Ator’s former employer, Journey Oilfield Services, also called 911 after firing him on Saturday, but Ator left before police showed up. He made rambling statements to the police on the phone, Combs said, and lived in a “strange residence” that reflected a troubled mental state.

Rescue workers have confirmed the deaths of 25 people and say nine others are missing after a fire on a scuba diving boat Monday off the coast of Southern California.

Five crew members survived by jumping overboard shortly after the blaze broke out.

Tens of thousands of students skipped the first day of classes Monday and rallied for democracy in Hong Kong instead. The student protests followed weekend demonstrations that shut down city transportation routes. The unrest flared up for another weekend despite the arrests Friday of key leaders in Hong Kong’s pro-democracy movement.

Hurricane Dorian pummeled the Bahamas on Monday with winds gusting up to 200 mph and a massive storm surge. The Category 5 storm was creeping over the islands at 1 mph. Residents headed to shelters before the hurricane, which is expected to leave many homeless.

A gunman killed five people and injured many more Saturday afternoon in the West Texas cities of Midland and Odessa. The suspect reportedly hijacked a U.S. Postal Service vehicle and fired at people randomly before police caught up with him at a movie theater in Odessa, where they shot and killed him. Odessa Police Chief Michael Gerke said at least 21 people sustained injuries in the shooting.

Forecasters have adjusted their predictions for Hurricane Dorian. Instead of slamming into the east coast of Florida, the storm, now a Category 4, is expected to divert north and zero in on the Carolinas and possibly Georgia by the middle of next week. Before then, it likely will hit the northwestern Bahamas with life-threatening winds and 2 to 4 feet of rain.
