Authorities are speaking with the shooter's family and examining what motive he may have had, Hebbe said.
Among the injured was a New Mexico state police officer who drove himself to a medical facility and was still hospitalized Monday night, the chief said. Another Farmington officer was wounded and released from a hospital. Farmington's San Juan Regional Medical Center received seven patients, spokeswoman Laura Werbner told CNN. She declined to comment on their conditions.
Mayor Nate Duckett got calls of support from the White House, lawmakers in Washington, Navajo Nation leaders and state mayors, he said, adding: "Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and their families during this incomprehensible time of pain and loss." "We are a resilient community, a community that cares for each other. In the face of adversity, we must stand together, comfort one another, and make a determined effort to heal these wounds so we can emerge stronger and not allow this act of violence to define us." the mayor added.
