APD officer shot in the arm ‘likely’ from friendly fire [Video]

NOT ON THE AIR. ON THE KOAT APP. AN ALBUQUERQUE POLICE OFFICER IS AT HOME RECOVERING AFTER TAKING FRIENDLY FIRE IN A DEADLY SHOOTING. POLICE CHIEF HAROLD MEDINA ADDRESSED THE SHOOTING ALMOST THREE WEEKS AFTER IT HAPPENED. OUR REPORTER, CORY HOWARD JOINS US NOW WITH HIS DETAILS. YEAH, DOUG AND CHARLENE, THEY POLICE SAY THAT IT ALL STARTED WITH AN ENCOUNTER ON A DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CALL. AND WHEN THEY ENCOUNTERED A MAN WITH A GUN, THATS WHEN THEY SAY THINGS TOOK A TURN FOR THE WORSE. THE ALBUQUERQUE POLICE DEPARTMENT, FOR THOSE IN THE TRAILER, YOU NEED TO COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS FREE AND CLEAR. BODY CAM FOOTAGE SHOWS THREE OFFICERS BEING APPROACHED BY AN ARMED SUSPECT, MATTHEW SANCHEZ. YOURE GOING TO BE I-40. DO NOT COME NEAR IT. OFFICERS SHOOTING SANCHEZ SEVEN TIMES, KILLING HIM. THEN YOU CAN ALSO NOTICE ONE OF THE OFFICERS DROPPED TO THE GROUND. WHAT DO YOU WANT? MY ARM. OKAY, WAIT, WAIT. UPPER ARM. THE OFFICERS SHOT IN THE ARM, BUT POLICE FOUND SANCHEZS GUN IN THE LOCKBACK POSITION, MEANING IT WAS OUT OF BULLETS. SO SANCHEZ DIDNT HAVE BULLETS TO SHOOT THE OFFICER WHO DID. AND I THINK ONE OF THE OFFICERS MENTIONED IT IN THIS IN THEIR INTERVIEW IS OFFICER TORRES MENTIONS THAT SHE WAS IN FEAR THAT SHE WAS ABOUT TO GET STRUCK BY A BULLET AND STARTED TO TURN HER HEAD IN ANTICIPATION OF GETTING STRUCK. INVESTIGATORS SAY ITS A CASE OF FRIENDLY FIRE. THE INJURED OFFICER MOST LIKELY SHOT BY A FELLOW OFFICER BEHIND HIM. AN INDIVIDUAL COULD HAVE AN OPEN VIEW AT THE INDIVIDUAL. THEYRE TRYING TO ENGAGE AND MOVEMENT FROM ONE OF THE OTHER OFFICERS COULD HAVE BEEN A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR AS TO WHAT HAPPENED. NOW, THE DEPARTMENT SAYS THAT THEY WILL SPEND THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS ANALYZING AND INVESTIGATING THE VIDEO AND THEY CHIEF MEDINA DID SAY THAT IF IT IS DETERMINED ALL TO BE A MISTAKE, THEN HE WILL WELCOME BACK EVERY OFFICER WITH OPEN ARMS REPORTING IN ALBUQUERQUE, CORY HOWARD, KOAT ACTION SEVEN NEWS. AND TWO OF THE OFFICERS INVOLVED JOINED THE DEPARTMENT IN 2021. THAT OFFICER WHO WAS SENT TO BE SHOT JOINED THE FORCE IN 2023.

Long lines, high voter turnout in Maine [Video]

Many Mainers stood in long lines to cast their votes for president Tuesday, including in Windham.”Yesterday went well; it was really busy,” Town Clerk Linda Morrell said.She added that members of her community really like to get out and vote. Four years ago, 11,600 people voted in the general election in Windham. On Tuesday, 11,595 voted.She said it wasn’t voter turnout but instead the 17-inch long ballots. “When each voter has three ballots to put through, it takes a little bit of time,” Morrell said.Windham wasn’t the only place that saw these long lines. In Lisbon, people were in line for more than an hour after the polls closed just to cast their ballots. In Readfield, the tabulators went down twice. Maine’s Total Coverage asked Secretary of State Shenna Bellows if this means the state needs to modernize elections.”I’ve already modernized our elections in a couple key ways,” Bellows said.She then pointed to online voter registration and automatic voter registration through the Bureau of Motor Vehicles.”That being said, there are other aspects of our election that we do the old-fashioned way. Some of it is for security we have that paper ballot which is the gold standard of election security,” Bellows said.Cities and towns have two days to get their election results to the secretary of state’s office. Then, the secretary of state has 20 days to get those results to Gov. Janet Mills for her certification.
