Farmington Police Chief Steve Hebbe released an update late Monday evening as the investigation into the deadly shooting continues.

“At this point it appears to be purely random,” Hebbe said of the shooting in a video statement.

Hebbe continued, noting that no schools, churches, or individuals appeared to have been targeted.

Police continue to investigate a possible motive, though they have not yet identified the suspect or victims.

Authorities have described the Monday morning scene as “chaotic.”

The suspect, an 18-year-old, was firing at people on a residential street when cops got to the scene, Farmington Police Deputy Chief Baric Crum said.

Officers confronted the shooter and fatally shot him.

Three civilians were found dead as other victims, including two cops, were rushed to the hospital.
