2 dead after pursuit of stolen car in Albuquerque

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Two suspects in a stolen vehicle have been killed after a pursuit by deputies in Albuquerque. Bernalillo County Sheriff Manuel Gonzales said at a news conference Friday morning that the incident began shortly before 4 a.m. A sheriff's office helicopter located a pick-up truck that had been reported stolen. According to Gonzales, the truck began driving erratically and was stopped near Coors and Glen Rio NW. He says at that point the deputies felt threatened and at least one shot was fired. Authorities pronounced two people in the truck dead. Two others were uninjured and taken into custody. Gonzales did not say why the deputies felt threatened or identify the dead suspects. This is the second fatal deputy-involved shooting in a week.
