ROSWELL, N.M. —A man accused of wounding three Roswell police officers and killing two other people had been released from jail less than two hours before the early Monday shooting spree, a detention center official said.
Chaves County Detention Center administrator Alfonso Solis said David Vega, 47, was arrested for a petty misdemeanor involving a domestic dispute shortly after 11 p.m. Sunday. Vega paid a $300 bond and was released around 12:30 a.m. Monday.
At about 2 a.m., officers responded to a domestic call at the same house and Vega opened fire on them as he came out of the home.
“It appears that he had planned some sort of ambush,” police spokesman Travis Holley said.
