Authorities say one person was shot to death early Saturday morning near a student residence hall on the University of New Mexico campus.
Albuquerque Police Department officers responded to a request for assistance from UNM’s police force shortly after 3 a.m.
“One individual has succumbed to gunshot injuries and was pronounced deceased on scene,” said Officer Chase Jewell, an APD spokesman.
The university issued two “urgent” alerts overnight, the first one at 3:30 a.m. notifying the campus community of an ongoing police investigation on the main campus and the second one at 4:15 a.m. saying there was no continuing threat to the UNM community.
