据美国全国广播公司（NBC news）报道，当地时间4月5日，美国新墨西哥州发生一起警察误杀居民事件。警方日前公布了事发时执法记录仪拍摄的视频，画面显示，当晚，警察其实在开枪前就已经发现走错门了。
警方通报称，5日晚上11点30分左右，法明顿警方接到一起家庭暴力事件的报告，在抵达位于阿尔伯克基西北约150英里的法明顿社区后，出警人员“错误地到达了谷景大道5305号，而事实上正确地址应该是谷景大道5308号”。
Upon arriving to the neighborhood in Farmington, which is about 150 miles northwest of Albuquerque, officers "mistakenly approached 5305 Valley View Avenue instead of 5308 Valley View Avenue," New Mexico State Police said in a statement Thursday.
执法记录仪显示，出警人员敲5305号的门，无人回应，于是开始和同事确认地址。
“这儿不是5308吗？那边是这么说的吧？” 视频中可以听到正在敲门的警官说。
“不，那边说的是5305，不是吗？” 另一名警察不确定地说。于是，敲门的警官又通过无线电跟调度员要求确认地址，结果并被告知正确地址是5308。
The knocking officer appears to laugh after being told the correct address...
A portion of the video slowed down by police appears to show what looks like the homeowner raising a gun.
"I am just heartbroken. … Mr. Dotson was not the subject of this call," Farmington Police Chief Steve Hebbe said during a Thursday video statement posted on Facebook. "This ending is just unbelievably tragic. I’m extremely sorry that we’re in this position."
Critics of police response in New Mexico say a bigger gun culture in the state compared to much of the rest of the country and lax police training play a factor in the high incidence of police killings.
