Police bodycam video of New Mexico shooter released

AP / May 19, 2023, 16.15 PM IST

Bodycam videos of police rushing the shooter of the deadly rampage in New Mexico were released this Thursday.At least six other people were wounded in Monday's shootings, which sent waves of grief rippling through Farmington, a community of 50,000 people in the state’s northwest. The wounded included two police officers, who have been released from medical care as they recover.Slain by the shooter were longtime Farmington residents Gwendolyn Schofield, 97, her 73-year-old daughter, Melody Ivie, and 79-year-old Shirley Voita.Beau Wilson lived with his father in a home that contained an arsenal of weapons and ammunition that appeared to be legally owned, according to law enforcement authorities. He bought an assault-style rifle last year after he turned 18.On Monday, police say, he began shooting indiscriminately with the AR-15 from the front porch area of the home, but quickly dropped the weapon into some bushes even though it still held more live ammunition.Wilson then walked down the street for about a quarter mile, spraying bullets indiscriminately using two pistols. He discharged a .22-caliber gun and then depleted rounds from a 9-mm weapon in the final shootout with police, during which he let off at least 18 rounds.He wore what appeared to be a modified protective vest with steel plates, but authorities say he discarded the vest before the shootout with police.A note was found in his pocket that said, “If your reading this im the end of the chapter.”Efforts were underway by authorities to access medical and school records that might shed light on Wilson’s mental history.
