Shooting at University of New Mexico kills 1
A 19-year-old man was killed and a 21-year-old man was wounded in a predawn shooting Saturday at the University of New Mexico campus in Albuquerque, where police said it was not an active shooting or a threat to others on campus.
School officials called off a basketball game scheduled with in-state rival New Mexico State.
The shooting took place about 3 a.m. and the wounded man was taken to a hospital for treatment of unspecified injuries, police said. His condition was not immediately disclosed.
Albuquerque police called the shooting “a singular incident” and not a threat to other students on campus.
The university issued alerts overnight notifying the campus community that the shooting happened near Alvarado Hall, a student dormitory.
