Police investigate alleged invasion, shooting

Police say a West Side homeowner shot and critically injured an alleged intruder early Thursday afternoon.

Albuquerque police said the homeowner was at his home in the 10,000 block of Del Rey SW during the noon hour and discovered the other man in his house, possibly burgling the home.

APD officers say an altercation occurred and the homeowner shot the other man in the abdomen in the backyard.

The alleged intruder was brought to the University of New Mexico Hospital, where he is listed in critical condition.

The shooting prompted officials to lock down nearby Carlos Rey Elementary School.

Police have not released the names of the homeowner or the alleged intruder.

Police are talking with witnesses and have detained two men who they say are “associates” of the intruder. Nobody has been arrested.
