一名18岁的枪手和警察在一次明显的袭击中至少开了150枪随机射击当局称，周一在新墨西哥州西北部的一个社区。
警方说，当地时间上午10点56分左右，枪手在法明顿的一个住宅区开枪后不久，三名驾车经过该地区的人被打死，该住宅区位于科罗拉多州边境以南约15英里处。
警方称，嫌疑人于周二被警方确认为法明顿高中的学生博·威尔逊，于上午11点06分被警方击毙。
警方表示，在调查的现阶段，动机尚不清楚。
法明顿副局长凯尔·道迪周二告诉记者，“这一事件似乎完全是随机的。”。"目前还没有确定具体的目标或动机。"
法明顿警察局副局长巴里克·克拉姆说，大多数枪击事件发生在驾车经过该地区的时候。克拉姆说，遇难者包括一名90多岁的妇女和受害者70多岁的女儿。他说，第三名受害者也是70多岁。
警方周二确认死者为雪莉·沃伊塔、梅洛迪·伊维和格温多林·施菲尔德。
警方称，两名受害者被宣布当场死亡，第三名在医院死亡。医院表示，包括两名警察在内的其他六名受害者在圣胡安地区医疗中心接受了治疗，并已出院。当局称，其他受害者在现场接受了治疗。
警方称，警方尚未发现嫌疑人和受害者之间有任何联系。
“我们没有发现任何线索让我们相信这个嫌疑犯认识这些人中的任何一个，”Dowdy说。“我们对此很有信心，因为这是相当随机的。因为枪击是任意的，而且是在街上来回的。”
Dowdy说，嫌疑人穿过社区，向房屋和汽车“不加选择地”开枪。道迪说，在近四分之一英里的犯罪现场，至少有六栋房子和三辆汽车被炮火击中。
道迪说，在事故发生期间，有数百个911电话打了进来。
克拉姆说，四名警察与嫌疑人交火，最终嫌疑人被击毙。
道迪说，到目前为止，在犯罪现场发现了至少150发子弹，尽管调查人员还不知道谁开了什么枪。
“我们仍在统计——这是合理的增长，”他说。“在这一点上，我们已经在每个人之间交换了大约150次[回合]。”
Crum说，其中一名受伤的警察是在应对现场时被枪杀的，而第二名是在与枪手交火时被枪杀的。官员们说，两名受伤的警察——一名来自法明顿警察局，一名来自新墨西哥州警察局——已经被释放。
警方称，嫌疑人持有多种武器，包括一把突击步枪。Dowdy说，嫌疑人在2022年11月购买了一支枪支，一个月后他满18岁，警方认为他从一名家庭成员那里获得了其他枪支。
道迪说，威尔逊在少年时期有“轻微的违法行为”，尽管他的历史上没有任何事情会使他成为他们的目标。
法明顿市立学校表示，它可以确认威尔逊是该地区一所学校的学生，但目前没有提供任何其他信息。
“法明顿市立学校与法明顿社区一样，对昨天发生的悲剧事件感到悲伤，”该学区周二在一份声明中表示。“我们希望纪念那些逝去的生命，因为他们是我们城市的宝贵成员。”

At least 150 rounds fired by gunman, officers during New Mexico shooting: Police
At least 150 rounds were fired by an 18-year-old gunman and responding officers during an apparentlyrandom shootingin a neighborhood in northwestern New Mexico on Monday, authorities said.
Three people driving through the area were killed shortly after the gunman opened fire at approximately 10:56 a.m. local time in a residential area of Farmington, about 15 miles south of the border with Colorado, police said.
The suspect -- identified by police Tuesday as Beau Wilson, a student at Farmington High School -- was shot dead by officers at 11:06 a.m., police said.
A motive remains unclear at this stage in the investigation, police said.
"This incident appears to be purely random," Farmington Deputy Chief Kyle Dowdy told reporters Tuesday. "It had no specific targets or motives to be identified at this time."
Most of those shot were driving through the area, Farmington Deputy Chief Baric Crum said. Those killed included a woman in her 90s and the victim's daughter, who was in her 70s, Crum said. The third victim was also in her 70s, he said.
The deceased victims were identified by police Tuesday as Shirley Voita, Melody Ivie and Gwendolyn Schofield.
Two of the victims were pronounced dead at the scene, while a third died at a hospital, police said. Six other victims, including two police officers, were treated at San Juan Regional Medical Center and have since been released, the hospital said. Other victims were treated at the scene, authorities said.
Police have not found any links between the suspect and the victims, police said.
"We've discovered nothing that leads us to believe that this suspect knew any of the people," Dowdy said. "That we're pretty confident in, because this was pretty random. Because the shooting was arbitrary and up and down the street."The suspect walked through the neighborhood, shooting "indiscriminately" at houses and cars, Dowdy said. At least six houses and three cars were hit by gunfire over the course of a nearly quarter-mile crime scene, Dowdy said.
Hundreds of 911 calls came in during the incident, Dowdy said.
Four officers engaged the suspect in a firefight, and the suspect was ultimately killed, Crum said.
At least 150 rounds have been found at the crime scene so far, though investigators do not know who fired what yet, Dowdy said.
"We're still counting -- that's legitimately going to go up," he said. "At this point, we've got approximately 150 [rounds] exchanged between everyone."
One of the wounded officers was shot while responding to the scene, while the second was shot during the firefight with the gunman, Crum said. The two injured officers -- one from the Farmington Police Department and one from New Mexico State Police -- have since been released, officials said.
The suspect was armed with multiple firearms, including an assault-style rifle, police said. Dowdy said the suspect purchased one firearm in November 2022, a month after he turned 18, and police believe he obtained the others from a family member.
Wilson had "minor infractions" as a juvenile, though nothing in his history would have led him to be on their radar, Dowdy said.
Farmington Municipal Schools said it can confirm Wilson was a student at one of the district's schools but that it's not providing any additional information at this time.
"Farmington Municipal Schools shares the sadness of the Farmington community over the tragic incident that occurred yesterday," the district said in a statement Tuesday. "We want to honor and remember the lives of those who were lost, as they were cherished members of our city."
Farmington Mayor Nate Duckett thanked residents for their help in supporting law enforcement amid the response.
"There were many acts of bravery that occurred yesterday," Duckett said.
