Three teens were said to have been killed and 15 more people were injured in a horrific mass shooting incident that took place in New Mexico.
The bloodbath arose at the car meetinup during the unsanctioned event that took place at the Las Cruces Young Park at about 10 pm on Friday.
The 16-year-old boy and two 19-year-old men were killed as per recent reports from the police. The injured were rushed to a nearby facility for immediate medical assistance.
The chaos that unfolded after the altercation broke out between two groups arose from previous tensions between them, the cops shared.
The dispute escalated into a massive exchange of gunfire from both sides. There were about 50 to 60 shots fired as per the number of gun casings that were retrieved.
Dramatic footage from the incident showed some 200 terrified revelers running and ducking for cover as shots were fired in the background.
One person explained to the New York Times how they saw a man with an assault rifle-style weapon. However, Las Cruces Police Chief Jeremy Story mentioned how the reports were conflicting as they had not found any rifle casings. All that was recovered were calibers linked to handguns.
