ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - Albuquerque police say an armed robbery suspect who fatally shot a dog while running through a neighborhood is dead following an encounter with police.
Police didn’t provide details on what happened immediately before the suspect’s death Wednesday except to say at least one officer fired shots at the suspect, whose age and name weren’t released.
According to police, officers responding to a reported armed robbery spotted the suspect who refused to stop and went into a residential neighborhood where a resident told police that a stranger had entered a backyard where he shot and killed a dog.
Police said continued searching by officers then led to the fatal encounter.
