Former State Police Chief Shoots Intruder In Duke City
A former New Mexico State Police chief has shot and wounded an intruder in his home in Albuquerque's south valley.
Bernalillo County sheriff's spokeswoman Erin Kinnard said when Maurice Cordova and his wife returned to their home Monday night, they encountered a man in a bathroom.
Kinnard said the intruder left the bathroom and Cordova shot him in the stomach.
Kinnard said the man possibly was armed with a knife.
She said the man has been taken to University of New Mexico Hospital for surgery.
Kinnard said she doesn't immediately know his identity or condition. She said no charges have been filed against Cordova.
Cordova was appointed chief in March 1983.
He resigned Aug. 31, 1985, after a 32-year career with the state police.
