I Pray nobody has been hurt

At least one student was shot, and they have to be airlifted all the way here to Lubbock. We're the closest Trauma One center.

I'm from Roswell and went to BMS actually. Word right now is there were 3 victims. One supposedly was airlifted straight to Lubbock but died in flight. Two are in critical condition and were flown to Lubbock after being transferred to the hospital.

EDIT: News reports saying only the two critical ones were the only victims. State police are supposed to have a press conference shortly so hopefully there's some clarification.

I know Lubbock is closer than Albuquerque but is there no trauma 1 unit in Las Cruces or is that still further away than Lubbock?

It's nit-picky, but Lubbock is ~10 miles closer. And LC is only ~10 miles closer than Albuquerque. I have no idea if Las Cruces has a T1 Center however.

Pretty sure Las Cruces isn't a level 1. I work at the hospital in Roswell and whenever someone is transferred it's either to Lubbock or Albuquerque.

Press conference just aired. Shooter had a shotgun in a bag, pulled it out in the gym before school, and started shooting. Staff member walked up to him and asked him to stop shooting, he then put the gun down. Two victims, one in critical condition, one serious.

That seems like a strange way of getting him to stop shooting. I dont know much about the situation but that sentence really stood out to me.
