There's been another mass shooting in the United States.

A gunman opened fire killing five people in Odessa, Texas.

It comes just weeks after the tragedies in El Paso and Dayton, Ohio.

The suspect, who's described as white and in his thirties, hijacked two vehicles and shot randomly at people.

No motive has yet been given.

There have now been as many mass shootings in the US this year - than in the whole of 2018.

According to one database, the latest killings in Texas, which left five people dead, brings the number to 25.

So far this year, there have been 140 victims, the same total for last year.
