The three victims who died were all elderly women ranging in age from their 70s to over 90-years-old.
by an 18-year-old gunman indiscriminately shooting into people's cars and houses in Farmington, New Mexico, officials said at a news conference on Tuesday. Three people were killed and two police officers were wounded before the gunman was killed, officials said.
Police said all three were driving through the neighborhood when they were shot. Two individuals died on the scene and one died from her injuries later at San Juan Regional Medical Center. The gunman fired at least three different weapons, including what police called an"AR-style rifle," starting at 10:56 a.m. near Ute and North Dustin Streets, said Deputy Chief Kyle Dowdy of the Farmington Police Department at the news conference. Almost immediately, police received reports of an active shooter in the area. By 11:02 a.m., officers responded and by 11:06 a.m. the shooter was dead, Dowdy said.
The shooter purchased one of the firearms legally in November 2022, one month after he turned 18 years old, police said. It wasn't yet known how he obtained the other firearms, but police said they believe it was through family members.
