ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Albuquerque police say an officer shot and wounded a 47-year-old man who fit the description of a bank robbery suspect.
The shooting occurred Monday late afternoon after a robbery was reported at a Bank of America branch near Candelaria and Carlisle in northeast Albuquerque.
Police say the officer shot the man after the man ran when the officer attempted to stop him. A police spokesman said a gun was found next to the man but the spokesman said he didn't know what occurred immediately before the officer shot the man.
The wounded man was hospitalized in stable condition with at least one gunshot wound.
No identities were released immediately.
The officer is on standard paid leave, and a multi-agency team is investigating the shooting.
