* (Disclaimer: This video content is intended for educational and informational purposes only) * Farmington, New Mexico — On Wednesday, April 5, at approximately 11:30 p.m., Farmington Police Officers were dispatched to a report of domestic violence at 5308 Valley View Ave. The footage begins when three Farmington officers arrive on Valley View Avenue. They approach the house located at 5305 Valley View Ave. Why officers approached the wrong address remains part of the ongoing investigation. The footage continues, showing officers approach the door at 5305 Valley View Ave. An officer knocks on the door and announces himself as Farmington Police on three separate occasions. The officer also requests confirmation from dispatch on the address. The three officers can be heard discussing the address. Officers begin to back away from the door. Approximately four seconds later, 52-year-old Robert Dotson opens the screen door, and points a firearm at the officers. Officers draw their firearms and fire their weapons, fatally striking Dotson. About a minute later, a woman, later identified as Dotson’s wife, appears at the front door with a firearm and begins firing at officers, but she stops upon realizing that they are police officers. Officers shoot back at her, but she is not injured. The contextual footage ends following the conclusion of shots being exchanged. The raw footage ends as officers meet with a supervisor to give their statements. All three officers fired their weapons during the incident. How many shots were fired by Farmington Officers is part of the State Police investigation. Two of the officers have been with the department for approximately five years. The third officer has been with the department for approximately three years. All three officers were placed on paid administrative leave for the length of the investigation, per department policy. Farmington Police later responded to 5308 Valley View Ave., the location of the original call. Officers spoke to occupants and made a report of the incident. No one was hurt and no arrests were made in that incident. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Special thanks to Shout-Out Supporters on Patreon: - 'BoJassim' - 'Sopaul' - Ignacio Girdeux - Michael Mortimer - 'Mystery Mayhem' - 'Liberatorgamer' - Lisa Overly - '.' - Connor Davies - Paul Rohrbaugh - Nash Martin - 'Necko' - Gerardo Flores - Richard Vannieuwenhuyse - Rose Keyes - 'Popeyez' - 'DIY Solar Power with Will Prowse' - 'Roman1983' - Anthony Eufemio - 'Donkbot' - Gage Kissinger - Alex F - Eian Smith - 'HelloDarknessMyOldFriend' - 'coco Coco' - 'The Chocolate Thief' - 'Jacob from Wisconi' - 'gorey hole' - Joe ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Support us on Patreon: Follow us on Twitter: Timestamps: 0:00 - Bodycam: Officer #1 3:34 - Bodycam: Officer #2 4:51 - Bodycam: Officer #3
