New Mexico Highway Closed Due To Barricade Situation

CARIZOZO, N.M. (AP) — Authorities say a state highway is closed in south-central New Mexico because of a barricade situation involving an armed person described as suicidal.

State police said U.S. 380 is closed Thursday between San Antonio and Carrizozo though local traffic is being allowed through to some areas.

State police are assisting the Lincoln County Sheriff's Department with the situation, which began Wednesday evening.
