Sheriff: Shots Fired In Road-Rage Dispute Near School

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Authorities say shots were fired during a road rage dispute near an Albuquerque elementary school, prompting a lockdown at the school.

Deputy Felicia Romero, a Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman, says no one was injured in the dispute Thursday afternoon, which authorities are continuing to investigate.

The sheriff's office has not released names in connection with the road rage dispute, but says it involved a blue Nissan Pathfinder and a white, four-door Buick. Authorities say the road rage incident began near a busy intersection about two miles from Sierra Vista Elementary School.

The school lockdown was lifted Thursday, but Albuquerque Public Schools required all students to be signed out by their parents or guardians.
