A shooting in Las Cruces, New Mexico, left three dead and 14 injured, according to the Las Cruces Police Facebook page. Authorities say two of the deceased were 19 years old and one was 16 years old, while the ages of those injured ranges from 16 to 36.

A crew from KTSM, a local NBC affiliate, reportedly spoke with a family who believed one of their relatives was possibly killed in the shooting, though that has not been confirmed.

“As with all acts of gun violence in our city and beyond, my heart is broken for the victims and the families impacted. This was a heinous act of violence that will leave our city mourning,” Bencomo wrote. “The next few days will be heavy and chaotic but we must focus on supporting those directly impacted and their families.”

Bencomo also urged the public to refrain from spreading misinformation and rumors, advising them to “be thoughtful in what you share or repeat.”
