CLOVIS, N.M. (KRQE) – Multiple people have been killed and others injured in a shooting at the Clovis-Carver Public Library, according to the Eastern New Mexico News.
The city manager tells a newspaper that two people were killed and four people were injured in a shooting inside a New Mexico public library.
Eastern New Mexico reports police surrounded the library just after 4 p.m.
A KRQE News 13 viewer sent video of police arresting a man.
Clovis police and elected officials also say that the shooter was taken into custody and was being questioned Monday.
Vanessa Aguirre told the newspaper she was in the library with her son when a man came in and “started to shoot” into the air.
Aguirre said she did not see anyone get shot, but the shooter was still in the library when she left.
Other witnesses tell the newspaper they saw police with guns drawn surround the library.
City Manager Tom Phelps told The Eastern New Mexico News on Monday evening that three of the injured were taken to a hospital in Lubbock, Texas. Clovis, a city of about 40,000, is about 200 miles east of Albuquerque, near the Texas state line.
Authorities did not immediately release the names of the two people who were killed.
Officials planned to release more information at a news conference Monday night at City Hall.WHAT OTHERS ARE CLICKING ON:
