New Mexico Chaplains Minister At Shooting

A shooting took place at an area corporation near Kirtland Air Force Base.

IFOC Chaplains were called out at 10 am, and arrived at the scene by 1030 am with 3 dead, several injured. The injured were transported to the hospital. The Active Swat team located the shooter who apparently took his life when he was surrounded.

A team of 15 IFOC Chaplains responded to the staging area of the Incident Command, to assist the non injured victims, (over 241 of them) and spent 6.5 hours providing emotional and spiritual care.

Mental health arrived as well as the State CISM Coordinator, observing the chaplains already on scene in action. Another 7 chaplains were working with the APD and the AFD. All together about 22 of the Albuquerque Chaplain team responded. The team is preparing to be called in for follow up, as needed.
