Five Democratic politicians' homes or offices in Albuquerque have been shot at in the past month. Local and state police are working with the FBI to investigate.
His point was underlined by recent events: Authorities had planned to highlight the shootings on Thursday, after a state senator's home was fired at on Tuesday — and then came word of yet more gunfire with a political target, as bullets struck a second state senator's office Thursday morning.
"We're worried and concerned that these are connected and possibly politically motivated or personally motivated," Keller said."But we don't know that for a fact."— At 4:41 p.m. someone fired eight shots at Bernalillo County Commissioner Adriann Barboa's home in southeast Albuquerque."In early December, I returned from Christmas shopping to my home being shot up; it was terrifying," Barboa told NPR on Friday.
The authorities are asking the public for help, hoping residents might send in information about people or vehicles near the attacks, or threats made on social media toward the politicians.
