A postal worker, a 15-year-old girl, a U.S. Army veteran and a father of two are among the seven people identified as victims in a mass shooting in West Texas on Saturday the second such shooting in the state in less than a month.

A man armed with an AR-type weapon fled a traffic stop before opening fire on state troopers and random people in Odessa and Midland before being fatally shot by responding officers, authorities said.

Victims range in age from 15 to 57 years old. This is what we know about them so far.

Mary Granados

Postal worker Mary Granados, whose postal vehicle was allegedly hijacked by the suspect during the rampage, was identified by family as one of the fatalities.

Granados twin sister, Rosie, told CNN she was on the phone with the 29-year-old when she heard her suddenly scream.

It was very painful. I just wanted to help her and I couldnt. I thought she had got bit by a dog or something. I tried calling her name and she wouldnt answer, she said.
