An 18-year-old gunman shot three people to death and wounded six others, including two police officers, in a northwest New Mexico town on Monday before police shot him dead outside a church a short time later, police said.
The late-morning shooting spree unfolded in a residential area of Farmington, New Mexico, about 180 miles northwest of Albuquerque.
She told Reuters by telephone that the suspect had stalked about a quarter of a mile on foot firing on bystanders seemingly at random before the rampage came to an end outside the church where he was confronted by law enforcement."We are still trying to determine why he was in this neighborhood," Crum told reporters.
It shows a man dressed in black pacing around a driveway outside the First Church of Christ Scientist, carrying what appears to be a handgun, before he is later seen being shot dead by police in front of the building. The gun violence prompted security lockdowns at several public schools in Farmington, a city of about 46,000 residents, until police determined there was no longer a threat to the public.
