Witnesses and police say the gunman walked through a neighborhood spraying bullets at cars, homes and passersby until police arrived at the scene and shot and killed him.
FARMINGTON, N.M. — The gunman who killed three people and wounded six others as he fired randomly while roaming his northwestern New Mexico neighborhood was a local high school student and his victims include a 97-year-old woman and her daughter, police said Tuesday.
Deputy Police Chief Baric Crum said Wilson was indiscriminately shooting at vehicles, but that some rounds also hit homes.Dowdy said investigators do not believe Wilson knew anyone he shot. Mayor Nate Duckett said Tuesday that the Farmington officer and state police officer were treated for their wounds and released from a hospital.
“I mean it was crazy. I called my husband and he could hear the gunshots over the phone,” she said. “He was freaking out and I was like, ‘don’t hang up, don’t hang up!’” Nick Akins, a middle school teacher and resident, said it’s a great place to live, with a mix of homes, short-term rental apartments and churches.
