JUST AS AFTERNOON RUSH HOUR WAS GETTING HEAVY, THERE WAS A SHOOTING THURSDAY AFTERNOON AT TOWER PARK IN SOUTHWEST ALBUQUERQUE. POLICE WERE SENT TO THE SCENE AROUND 4:54 PM AND FOUND A MALE WITH A GUNSHOT WOUND TO HIS CHEST. HE WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL BUT DIED OF HIS INJURIES THERE.
TWO PEOPLE WERE DETAINED FOR QUESTIONING. THE PARK WAS CLOSED FOR THE INVESTIGATION AND THERE’S NO WORD YET ON WHETHER IT’S BEEN REOPENED. TWO BROTHERS WHO OFTEN SKATE AT THE PARK TOLD THE ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL THEY’VE BEEN FIRED AT MANY TIMES IN THE PARK. THEY SAID IT WAS A REGULAR OCCURRENCE.
