UNM Shooting suspect arrested in Los Lunas
LOS LUNAS, N.M. — The suspect involved in a fatal shooting on the University of New Mexico (UNM) campus has been taken into custody by U.S. Marshals in Los Lunas, according to law enforcement officials.
The arrest follows a violent incident that occurred early Friday morning at the Casas del Rio student housing complex on the UNM campus.
The University of New Mexico Police Department (UNMPD) initially responded to reports of gunfire and discovered two individuals suffering from gunshot wounds.
One of the victims was pronounced dead at the scene, while the second was transported for medical treatment with non-life-threatening injuries.
As a precaution, UNM officials issued an immediate campus lockdown and a shelter-in-place order, fearing the suspect may still have been in the vicinity.
The New Mexico State Police (NMSP) later assumed control of the investigation.
The shelter-in-place has since been lifted, though the crime scene remains active and under investigation.
Students residing in the Gila building, where the shooting is believed to have occurred on the second floor, reported hearing four to five gunshots shortly before midnight.
Several students described the incident as “one of the scariest experiences of their lives,” noting they witnessed people fleeing the building toward a nearby parking lot.
Throughout Friday, UNMPD conducted a staged, tactical evacuation of students from the impacted residence halls to ensure their safety.
Officials advised any remaining individuals on campus to stay in place unless directed otherwise by law enforcement.
According to the university’s website, new student orientation was underway at the time of the incident.
Additionally, freshman members of the UNM football team were staying on the fourth floor of the residence hall this summer.
At this time, authorities have not confirmed whether any UNM students—new or returning—were directly involved in the shooting.
Details regarding the identity of the suspect and victims have not been released.
The motive and circumstances surrounding the shooting remain under investigation by the New Mexico State Police.
Anyone with relevant information is urged to contact the UNM Police Department at (505) 277-2241 or Albuquerque Metro Crime Stoppers at (505) 843-7867. Anonymous tips can also be submitted via the Crime Stoppers app or through their website at www.crimestoppersnm.com.
MT. JULIET, Tenn. — Authorities have identified two victims killed during an active shooter incident at Cedar Creek Marina in Mt. Juliet late Friday night.
The suspect, identified as Gary Haley, a convicted felon with an extensive criminal history, is deceased following an officer-involved shooting, officials confirmed.
Mount Juliet Police officers were dispatched at approximately 9:30 p.m. Friday to the Cedar Creek Marina, located in the 9000 block of Saundersville Road, after receiving reports of a man threatening another individual on the docks.
Due to the active shooter report, a shelter-in-place order was issued for the surrounding area as a precaution.
Upon arrival, officers located an adult male suffering from a gunshot wound.
The victim was later identified as Robby Brogdon, who was transported to a local hospital for emergency medical treatment.
Despite life-saving efforts, Brogdon later succumbed to his injuries.
Investigators determined that the suspected shooter had retreated to a boat within the marina and had barricaded himself inside.
The standoff continued for several hours as officers secured the scene and attempted to resolve the situation safely.
At approximately 1:00 a.m. Saturday, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) reported that the suspect engaged responding officers and fired shots at them under circumstances that remain under investigation. Officers returned fire.
The suspect, Gary Haley, was later found deceased aboard the vessel.
During the course of the response, officers also discovered a second adult male victim, Nathan Jones, who had been shot by the suspect.
