Farmington, New Mexico — Authorities on Thursday released police body camera footage that captured officers confronting an 18-year-old gunman who went on a 10-minute shooting rampage in the small northwest New Mexico city of Farmington on Monday, leaving three elderly women dead and at least six other people wounded, including two officers. The gunman was fatally shot by police. The footage showed the chaos as Farmington police and other law enforcement officers rushed to the area and confronted the gunman, who authorities said fired more than 140 rounds from an AR-15 rifle, one of three weapons he used during the attack, including two handguns.
