In Midland, Texas, a day of ordinary life was broken by gunfire that left one person dead and ten others wounded before the shooter was killed in a standoff with police.

Federal agents joined local law enforcement in the aftermath, and the work of understanding began, even as the deepest questions about why remained unanswered.
