A mother and daughter are two of the three people who were killed in Monday's mass shooting in Farmington, New Mexico, police said Tuesday afternoon.
They both died on scene while traveling in the same car, Deputy Chief Kyle Dowdy said during a news conference.
An elderly woman was also killed in the shooting.
"The amount of violence and brutality that these innocent people faced is something that is unconscionable to me," Dowdy said. "It shocks your senses."
The victims were in their 70s and 90s, police noted.
Two of the weapons the gunman used during a deadly shooting in Farmington, New Mexico, may have belonged to family members, according to police.
Farmington Police Deputy Chief Kyle Dowdy said investigators are still looking into how the suspect got the guns, but said they believe one was legally purchased in November 2022.
The gunman has been identified as an 18-year-old high school student, police said. Dowdy said his birthday was in October 2022, shortly before the purchase of the weapon.
Police said the shooter had three guns on him during the incident. Officials believe a family member was the legal owner of the other two guns used in the shooting, according to Dowdy.
The deputy chief said at least 150 rounds of ammunition were fired as the gunman fired indiscriminately as he walked through the neighborhood on Monday.
The suspect was not previously on local police's radar, according to Deputy Police Chief Kyle Dowdy.
"He did have minor infractions as a juvenile but nothing that would rise to the level of any serious crime," Dowdy said.
The suspect in Monday’s mass shooting roamed a Farmington, New Mexico, neighborhood and fired "indiscriminately" at vehicles and at least six houses, Deputy Police Chief Kyle Dowdy said Tuesday during a news conference.
“Hundreds of people” called to report the shooting, which began Monday morning just before 11 a.m., Dowdy said.
Upon arriving on scene, police officers shot and killed the shooter, he said.
The suspect has been identified as Beau Wilson, an 18-year-old student of Farmington High School.
Police are still investigating how the shooter obtained the weapons used in the shooting, though Dowdy said one of the three guns used was legally purchased in November 2022.
No motive has been identified, he said.
