Shooting from Page 1A

Johnston said. The assistant sheriff said the school locked its doors, and students and staff “sheltered in place” until deputies ushered them onto a school bus and led it to safety under heavy guard. Johnston said authorities believe they know the identity of the shooter but declined to release his name pending further investigation. He appears to have fired a semiautomatic rifle and two handguns at seven locations, authorities said. The shooter initially stole a neighbor’s truck and then car- jacked a second vehicle before two deputies exchanged gunfire with him, Johnston said. No officers were hurt. Salvador Tello said the gunman fired at a truck in front of him as he went to drop off his three children at school. Tello said he was about three blocks from the school when bullets made “big holes” in the truck. He said he forced his children to duck down, slammed his vehicle into reverse and headed to the children’s grandmother’s house. “I put my kids down and put my truck in reverse and went out,” he said. “I don’t believe it, because I wake up, take my kids, feed them cereal and put them in the truck and say, ‘Let’s go to school like a normal day.”’ On the way, he said he saw an apparent gunshot victim and police at another scene. The rural subdivision is described on its website as a “quiet private country community” where “the people are friendly and the pace is relaxed.” The homeowner association’s website says there are 2,016 lots in the community and 1,346 voting members.

He searched, sought and showcased local talent and enjoyed playing with such talented musicians. As his friend Tommy Williams said, He was so dedicated to his music and such an accomplished clarinet and saxo- phone player. He played with just about every musician in Clovis at one time or another. At times he played seven nights a week. He loved his music and played such a vari- ety. Tuff was his opening song. With the dedication of his son, Jim, he was able to accomplish all of his life's dreams and goals. Survivors include: his wife, Ren Case of the home; two sons, James “Jim” Case and John “Jack” Case; daughters, Janet (Donald) Case-Young and Judy (Kirk) Case-Kelley; brother, Bob (Mavis) Case; and four grandchildren; Ren Ishii, Josh (Amanda) Case, Matthew (Anna) Ishii, and Lyle Case; and great-granddaughter Brianna.

Departments seek more money SANTA FE — New Mexico’s public safety and judicial officials are seeking budget increases for the next fiscal year as crime rates remain high. The Legislative Finance Committee is hearing this week from the agencies as the panel prepares to craft spending priorities ahead of the next legislative session in January. Committee officials noted that New Mexico in 2016 had the second highest rate for violent crime in the Unites States and the highest property crime rate among states. District attorneys statewide are seeking the largest increase — about $11.7 million or a nearly 18 percent boost. Public defenders want an 11 percent increase, or about $6.4 million, mostly to fill vacant positions and add staff to handle an increased work- load due to pretrial reforms.
