The city of Farmington is trying to make sense of a mass shooting earlier this week that left four dead, including the suspected gunman.

Several others were also injured, including two police officers

Describing the shooting as “horrific,” Farmington Police Chief Steve Hebbe said the suspect, an 18-year-old male, shot at six houses and three cars, according to KRQE News. Hebbe also said the suspect used three different weapons, including an AR-style rifle. Farmington Police confronted the suspected shooter before fatally shooting him.

Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D-NM) released the following statement after the shooting: “I am grateful to law enforcement for their quick response,” Lujan Grisham said, according to KRQE News. “I have directed the state to provide whatever support the city and county need as they conduct a thorough investigation and as the community begins to heal. I am praying for the families of the victims, the wounded and the entire community of Farmington following this horrific tragedy.”

Officers responded to several calls about a shooting and found what they described as “a chaotic scene" of a man roaming through the neighborhood firing at people on a residential street, Farmington Police Deputy Chief Baric Crum said during a news conference.

Police identified the deceased suspect as Beau Wilson, 18, of Farmington, who had “no specific targets or motives.”

Police said Shirley Voita, 79, Melody Ivie, 73, and Gwendolyn Schofield, 97, were killed in the shooting. Two of the victims died at the scene, while a third victim died at the hospital. Farmington Police Sergeant Rachel Discenza and New Mexico State Police Officer Andreas Stamatiadis are among the wounded victims who are expected to survive their injuries, police said.

Wilson was a high school student believed to be living near North Dustin Road and Ute Street, where the shooting began. The rifle was said to have been legally purchased by the suspect, according to KRQE, while investigators believe two other weapons he used were taken from family members.

Farmington Mayor Nate Duckett expressed his horror at the shooting. “Our community experienced a horrific tragedy that claimed the lives of three innocent citizens and injured several others,” Duckett said in a statement. “It is with profound sorrow that I acknowledge a shooting that occurred in our midst -- an act of violence that has left us reeling in anguish and disbelief. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and their families during this incomprehensible time of pain and loss. I want to commend all area law enforcement who responded swiftly when the call came out, including Farmington Police Department, San Juan County Sheriff’s Office, State Police, Bloomfield Police and other neighboring jurisdictions.”

The investigation into the shooting continues.
