An 18-year-old gunman stalked through a New Mexico neighborhood firing randomly at bystanders, houses and cars, killing three people and wounding six before police shot him dead outside a church
The late-morning shooting spree unfolded in a residential area of Farmington, New Mexico, a major retail center and regional hub for the fossil energy industry about 180 miles northwest of Albuquerque.
She told Reuters by telephone that the suspect had roamed about a quarter of a mile on foot firing on bystanders indiscriminately before the rampage came to an end outside the church where he was confronted by law enforcement."At this point it appears to be purely random," Farmington Police Chief Steve Hebbe said in a video message posted on his department's Facebook page, calling the incident "devastating.
Some of the incident was captured in video footage posted to the social media platform TikTok and confirmed as authentic by Gonzales. The two wounded officers, one from the Farmington department and one from New Mexico State Police, were listed in stable condition in hospital. The city officer was later released, Hebbe said.The gun violence prompted security lockdowns at several public schools in Farmington, a city of about 46,000 residents, until police determined the threat was over.
