Security Guard Shoots Trespasser at New Mexico CYFD Building

A few minutes after 7:45 PM, on Tuesday, October 1, shots were fired near 4501 Indian School Rd NE, which is east of Washington Street. The shooting happened outside of the CYFD building. The caller told 911 that someone allegedly shot his friend and fled on foot. Reportedly, five shots were fired. New Mexico State Police were the first to arrive on the scene, finding a person who had been shot. The Albuquerque Police Department arrived shortly after. Based on preliminary information, it is believed that a person was trespassing on CYFD property, the trespasser supposedly pepper-sprayed the security guard, and the guard then fired their gun at the trespasser. Albuquerque Fire Rescue is purportedly transporting the person shot to a local hospital. Rescue 13 is doing the transport. The individual is believed to have sustained 4-5 gunshot wounds. The person’s condition is presently not known. The New Mexico State Police are handling the investigation. The NMSP are responsible for handling all calls for service at the CYFD building, as it is a state government office.
