Right wing militia nutcase shoots protester in Albuquerque

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — One man was shot in Old Town as a protest over the “La Jornada” sculpture in front of the Albuquerque Museum erupted into violence Monday evening.

The shooting occurred during a clash between individuals trying to take down the controversial sculpture and five or six heavily armed New Mexico Civil Guard members, a civilian group, trying to protect the monument that features conquistador Juan de Oñate.

“One male subject was shot and has been transported to (University of New Mexico Hospital) in unknown condition,” Albuquerque Police Department spokesman Gilbert Gallegos said in an email. “Officers are securing the scene. Detectives will be investigating this scene.”
