FARMINGTON, N.M.  (KRQE) – A total of 176 gunshots were fired by a teenage gunman on a Monday morning in May. It killed three, innocent women driving down the street: Shirly Voita, Melody Ivie, and her mother, Gwendolyn Schofield. Their families' lives were changed forever. 'I think they're conflicted. I think it's still the shock of it, right? And how fast it happened and then the violent nature of it was traumatic and tough to come to grips with,' Farmington Police Chief Steve Hebbe said. The event was traumatic for the Farmington Police Department too.
