Albuquerque plagued by deadly shootings and police search for suspects.
Five teens were killed in a surge of shootings in Albuquerque during the first week of June. Anti-gun violence advocates are alarmed and believe the rise in teen gun violence is directly connected to an increased number of guns in Albuquerque. They suggest it’s hard to emphasize the dangers of guns when they are so prevalent in teen’s lives. The majority of gunshot victims do not make it to the hospital, and every gunshot injury is a serious one. Advocates are encouraging teens to walk away or go home when they see guns at parties, and parents to not let their kids attend any parties.
