Albuquerque –
Around 8:00PM, the Albuquerque Police Department was dispatched to a shots fired call near the Spruce Park. It is located at the 500 block of Spruce Street NE. When officers arrived witnesses said there was a gunshot wound victim on scene. Witnesses say he was shot in the leg.
APD got more information that the victim was transported to Downtown Presbyterian Hospital by a civilian. If a Albuquerque Fire Rescue got to the scene first, the victim would have been taken to UNMH a few blocks north as they are a level 1 trauma center.
The area around Spruce Park will be shut down as they investigate the scene. The victim was transported to UNMH after being stabilized at Presbyterian Hospital. We will update if any more information becomes available.
