YOU KNOW THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF THEM … BUT NOW WE HAVE A SOLID NUMBER. THE ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL REPORTS THERE WERE 114 PEOPLE SHOT IN THE CITY IN 2019. AND THE ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL REPORTS THE SHOOTING DEATH OF POSTAL SERVICE WORKER JOSE HERNANDEZ LAST MONDAY WAS NUMBER 101.
SOME SHOOTINGS INVOLVED MORE THAN ONE PERSON BEING SHOT. THE NUMBER OF SHOOTINGS IN ALBUQUERQUE AND BERNALILLO COUNTY COMES AS HOMICIDES HAVE LEVELED OFF. THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S OFFICE TELLS THE JOURNAL THERE WERE 36 PERCENT MORE SHOOTINGS IN THE CITY THIS YEAR COMPARED TO 2018.
MAYOR TIM KELLER SAYS THESE ARE ALBUQUERQUE’S NUMBER ONE PROBLEM.
