ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - Albuquerque police say one person is dead and another wounded following a shooting at a motel.

Officer Fred Duran says the shooting occurred early Friday morning at a motel on the 7600 block of Central Avenue Southwest.

According to Duran, one victim was dead before officers arrived and the second has a leg wound that is not considered life-threatening.

Duran says officers were told the shooter left before officers reached the scene.

Identities of the victims weren’t released, and Duran says detectives don’t yet know a possible motive for the shooting.
