00:00This horrendous, senseless act is a stark reminder.

00:05The investigation so far reveals that there was an altercation between two groups of people

00:09and that altercation escalated to gunfire between both groups.

00:14Several other people were also injured in the crossfire.

00:17Officers arrived on the scene and began treating people immediately while trying to deal with

00:21the chaos of that situation.

00:23Bystanders, some of them had already started administering treatment.

00:28Officers' fire arrived very quickly and they began immediately rendering aid, despite the

00:33fact that the scene was not secure yet.

00:39But as of right now, there are 15 people that are injured and three that have passed away.

00:44This is a huge crime scene with a lot of moving parts.

00:48It will take time to process it thoroughly and reopen everything.

00:53We are asking for anyone who witnessed the shooting to contact us by calling 575-526-0795.

01:01If anyone has relevant video or photos, we ask that they please upload them to the link

01:06that was provided on our Facebook page so that we can go through that and find the leads

01:10and ultimately hold the suspects accountable.

01:14The city has invested in park rangers for parks and I'm just curious, were they at all involved?

01:20Casings have been located throughout the park and parking lot.

01:22Again, it's a huge scene.

01:25All the casings located so far are handgun caliber casings.

01:29There are no rifle casings consisting with an AK or AR style rifle.

01:33In fact, there's no rifle casings that have been located at all so far.

01:36They're all handgun casings.

01:39Did all the caskets found, are they all from the same?

01:44There's still a lot that is unknown and being pieced together.

01:47We will try to answer the questions we can, but we will not speculate or give opinions

01:51that are not based on facts.

01:53Has there been any arrests in connection with what happened last night or anyone detained?

02:01There have not been arrests or anyone detained.

02:03We have leads that we're pursuing, but we are also asking the public or anyone that

02:07might have information to please provide that to assist us.

02:11We were out there last night if all the shooting occurred in the parking lot.

02:15But that area has been troubled with crime more so in recent years and I spoke about

02:20it during a committee, an interim committee meeting recently about the level of violence

02:24we've seen in that park.

02:25So in spite of some of the efforts, we are still struggling with that obviously.

02:32Justin Garcia, Albuquerque Journal.

02:34We know that there was some type of ill will between these groups prior to last night.

02:40So they had some issues before and it escalated last night.

02:44As far as an estimate, do we have an estimate?

02:49Approximately 200, but again, that's an approximation.

02:52Good morning and thank you.

02:56Right now and as reported in the news release, ages ranging 16 to 36, seven patients were

03:03treated on scene, 11 patients presented to local departments, two were pronounced dead

03:09on scene, four were transported locally, and one was flown to El Paso for treatment.

03:16The overall status that we have for right now is three patients are deceased, seven

03:21have been sent from local hospitals to El Paso for further treatment, four patients

03:26have been treated and released, and we don't have a status for the remaining four patients

03:31at this time.

03:32We're waiting on updates from our local hospitals.

03:35We haven't scheduled it right now.

03:36Keep watching for news releases and or.
