* (Disclaimer: This video content is intended for educational and informational purposes only) *
Farmington, New Mexico — On Monday, May 15, 2023, at about 11:00 a.m. 18-year-old Beau Wilson stepped out of his home and opened fire on neighboring houses and passing cars, police said. He was supposed to graduate from Farmington High School the next day. The sound of the 18-year-old gunman’s rapid-fire shots was captured on a Farmington resident’s Ring camera before Wilson can clearly be heard calling for punishment. At least 150 shots from an AR-15 rifle were fired at the scene, according to police. The front door video showed 79-year-old Shirley Voita's vehicle coming down a roadway with the driver's door opened. Vehicles could be seen reversing away from the shooting scene. Voita was killed in the shooting, along with two other victims identified as Gwendolyn Dean Schofield, 97, her 73-year-old daughter, Melody Ivie. Audio from the neighbor's camera heard Wilson yell, "Kill Me."

Police body camera footage shows Sgt. Rachel Discenza and other officers rushing toward the Farmington High School senior, who had ripped off his modified protective vest with steel plates for the final confrontation. “Farmington police! Let’s see your hands!“ a male officer shouts at Wilson. An explosion of fire can be heard moments before Discenza is shot in the pelvic region. She fell to her knees after being shot, but still attempted to stand and continue toward the shooter before falling again. Officers on scene rendered initial aid. Discenza is recovering at home after being wounded. Police rushed to handcuff Wilson, but he was dead at the scene. A note was later found in the pocket of his discarded vest that said, “If your (sic) reading this I’m the end of the chapter.” It is not yet clear how many gunshot wounds Wilson had sustained. The six people wounded include Discenza and New Mexico State Police officer Andreas Stamatiadis, who was shot while driving to the scene. Both officers have been released from the hospital, along with the four other wounded victims. In total, Wilson fired at 11 vehicles and seven houses, though none of the people shot was in a residence.
