Police: Man killed in exchange of gunfire with officers

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Albuquerque police say a homicide suspect who barricaded himself in a residence is dead after an exchange of gunfire with city police officers and New Mexico state police.
Police say 30-yer-old Arthur Lujan was killed early Wednesday morning following a nine-hour standoff and unsuccessful negotiations for his surrender in the killing Tuesday morning of 33-year-old Anthony Sandoval.
According to Albuquerque Police Department spokesman Gilbert Gallegos Jr., police tracked down Lujan after finding Sandoval dead and learning that he had called 911 to report being shot by Ljuan.
Gallegos says Sandoval and Lujan recently had been in an altercation.
