ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - Police
in Albuquerque, New Mexico, say an officer accidentally shot a man during a
burglary investigation.
Police spokesman Simon Drobik
said the officer's gun discharged as he climbed through a broken window of a
second-floor apartment while investigating a burglary early Sunday.
Drobik says the bullet went
through the apartment's floor and into the unit below, where it struck a man in
the back.
Drobik says the man, whose name
was not released, was hospitalized in stable condition with injuries that were
not life-threatening.
He says the shooting occurred
after officers took another man into custody.
The shooting comes after city
officials recently signed an agreement with the U.S. Justice Department to
overhaul the police force.
Mayor Richard Berry on Monday
is scheduled to unveil a new initiative on community meetings
