A witness on scene told us they heard at least 6 or 7 shots fired. Another witness said “this is the worst Target in Albuquerque”.
After a period of time with no contact with the vans occupant a police drone was used to examine the inside of the van. A short time later a SWAT team flash banged the vehicle and made entry into the van. They pulled the male out of the vehicle and verified he was deceased.
