ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A set of 911 calls from a man who police say shot three co-workers at an Albuquerque warehouse starts with him saying he opened fire at the food distribution centre and that he had been hearing voices in his head.
Police say three men were wounded in the shooting Monday.
In the 911 recordings released Wednesday, the last thing 30-year-old Waid Anthony Melton says is that he’ll meet police at a designated point in New Mexico’s largest city. Then the call cuts out.
Police say Melton later shot and killed himself Monday night, hours after the attack at the Ben E. Keith warehouse.
Police say a female friend Melton picked up after the shooting and who was with him as he spoke on the phone with an officer was not harmed.
