Colorado deputies wound New Mexico suspect

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — The Latest on the investigation into the killing of two people in Albuquerque (all times local):
12:50 p.m.
Authorities in Colorado say deputies shot and wounded a man wanted in a double homicide in New Mexico.
The shooting happened Thursday morning outside a Walmart in Fort Morgan, a small city on Colorado's Eastern Plains about 80 miles (129 kilometers) northeast of Denver.
In a statement, the city's public safety chief, Paul Schultz, says the suspect's car, which was stolen, was found in the store's parking lot. He says Morgan County sheriff's deputies confronted him when he came out of the store and they opened fire after he made a "threatening gesture."
The man was flown to the hospital in critical condition.
Colorado authorities didn't say whether the killings the suspect was wanted for are the ones discovered earlier Thursday at an apartment complex in Albuquerque. However, Albuquerque police have said that a person of interest had been located in Colorado in that case.
