RED RIVER, N.M. (AP) — Three people were killed and five were wounded in a shooting at an annual motorcycle rally in a New Mexico town late Saturday afternoon.
Red River Mayor Linda Calhoun said in a video posted on Facebook that the shooting around 5 p.m. resulted in three fatalities and five victims were transported to hospitals in Denver, Albuquerque and nearby Taos.
The 41st annual Red River Memorial Motorcycle Rally drew about 20,000 bikers to the town, Calhoun said.
The violence occurred between two retail stores and involved members of motorcycle gangs, Calhoun said.
“The shooters have all been apprehended,” she said. “There is no threat to the community at all.”
The New Mexico State Police previously said in a Twitter post that two people were killed and six were wounded in the shooting.
Most of Main Street in Red River, where the shooting occurred, was closed to the public for the investigation and law enforcement requested businesses in the area remain closed on Sunday, Calhoun said in a statement.
