Stolen gun used in UNM campus shootout

ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico -- The gun Brandon Travis used to shoot Mike Peake in the deadly UNM campus shooting was stolen, according to New Mexico State Police.

State Police said the gun was stolen out of Clovis, New Mexico.

An official from the Clovis Police Department said a report of a stolen Glock 43 was made back in June after the owner left it in his unlocked vehicle outside his home. State Police have confirmed that was the gun Travis used to shoot Peake.

Authorities said Peake was lured to campus by a 17-year-old girl and ambushed by three male UNM students, including Travis, who wanted to beat him up after they had been involved in a fight at a football game in Las Cruces in October.

Travis shot Peake in the leg, and Peake shot back, killing Travis.
