ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - A Bernalillo County Sheriff’s deputy is on paid administrative leave following a south valley shooting that left one man dead.
The Albuquerque Journal reports (https://bit.ly/1AzDiyL) deputies responded to a neighbor’s call that an argument was taking place in a parked car. Deputies talked to the woman and tried to talk to the man, who then produced a weapon.
Sheriff Manny Gonzales said neither the deputy nor the man has been identified. The deputy fired several rounds at the suspect. He was hit once, and pronounced dead early Sunday morning at University of New Mexico Hospital.
No one has been arrested, and the investigation is ongoing.
