THE CLOVIS-CARVER LIBRARY IS CLOSED AND WILL STAY CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. THAT’S AS CLOVIS POLICE AND OTHER LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES INVESTIGATE MONDAY’S SHOOTINGS AT THE LIBRARY.
IT HAPPENED AROUND 4PM, WITH TWO FEMALES KILLED AND FOUR OTHERS … TWO WOMEN AND TWO MEN … INJURED. LUBBOCK, TEXAS IS THE CLOSEST TRAUMA CENTER TO CLOVIS, SO THEY WERE SENT THERE … AND TWO ARE IN SERIOUS CONDITION.
CLOVIS POLICE CHIEF DOUGLAS FORD SAYS WHEN OFFICERS ARRIVED ON SCENE, THE SHOOTER DIDN’T FIRE ANY SHOTS AT THEM AND SURRENDERED PEACEFULLY. BUT POLICE ARE STILL WORKING TO DETERMINE A MOTIVE FOR THE SHOOTINGS IN WHAT’S USUALLY A QUIET COMMUNITY.
THEY HAVEN’T IDENTIFIED THE SUSPECT’S NAME OR AGE … BUT SOME RESIDENTS SAY IT WAS A 16 YEAR OLD CLOVIS SCHOOL SOPHOMORE. INVESTIGATORS ARE STILL WORKING THE CRIME SCENE FOR EVIDENCE.
