Gunshot victims ranging in age from 16 to 36 were sent to all three local hospitals, as well as to University Medical Center of El Paso, the regional trauma center, according to police and hospital officials. Of six patients who arrived at Memorial Medical Center in Las Cruces by ambulance and private car, five were sent to El Paso, said marketing and communications director Andrew Cummins.
Those who died were two 19-year-old men and a 16-year-old boy, police said. Their names and those of other victims were not yet being released.
Police were asking for bystanders to share videos and other tips as they continued to seek a suspect or suspects in the attack, which occurred at about 10 p.m. on Friday in the city’s Young Park, a music and recreation venue. A news conference was scheduled for later Saturday.
When did the media become afraid to use the word “gangs”? There are so many instances of gun violence like this which are clearly gang-related and the articles never mention that anymore.
“No way to prevent this, says only nation where this regularly happens”
At least we have our guns to stop a tyrannical government, amirite?
