Winfield has been officially charged with four counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in relation to the shootings.

He is currently being housed in Potter County Jail.

Police have been able to recover the vehicle they believe was used in the shootings. Right now, police believe these are random shootings and no one was specifically targeted in the rampage.

There is no evidence at this time that there was more than one shooter, but they still have a lot of investigation left to do. Police do expect additional charges to be filed. Some of the charges they believe could be filed would withholding information and/or giving misleading information from people APD spoke with in regards to Winfield.

Winfield himself could be facing murder charges in connection with the shootings as they investigate further.

As of right now, they have not located the weapon used in the shootings yet.

Digging through old news articles, I found several separate occasions where Amarillo and America's Most Wanted crossed paths. It makes me wonder if there are some that I've missed.
