ANOTHER FATAL OFFICER INVOLVED SHOOTING IN ALBUQUERQUE … THIS ONE ON 60TH STREET NEAR CENTRAL ON THE WEST SIDE. APD SAYS OFFICERS WERE SENT TO AN APARTMENT COMPLEX THERE AFTER GETTING REPORTS OF A MAN POINTING A GUN AT A JUVENILE. THEY SAY THE SUSPECT FIRED THE WEAPON AT OFFICERS, WHO FIRED BACK. BUT THE SISTER OF THE MAN SHOT TELLS OUR NEWS PARTNER, KOB-TV HE WAS HOLDING A CELL PHONE … NOT A FIREARM.
THE SUSPECT WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL, WHERE HE WAS PRONOUNCED DEAD. THIS IS THE SECOND OFFICER-INVOLVED SHOOTING AT APD SINCE GORDON EDEN TOOK OVER AS POLICE CHIEF LAST MONTH.
