Woman killed in officer-involved shooting with Albuquerque police
Medina said the call was a priority two call, and placed in a cue while several other calls were holding. Chief Medina said around 5:15 a.m., the call was updated that Herrera had broken some items and armed herself with a piece of glass. Officers were sent to the hotel, and as they were en route, a security supervisor showed up at the hotel.
Medina said Herrera was able to disarm the security guard and take the guard's gun. When officers arrived on scene, they observed that shots had already been fired into an SUV in the parking lot, and Herrera was waving the firearm and discharged it. Medina said officers gave Herrera commands to drop the firearm. At one point, a round was fired in the direction of officers and struck an SUV in front of them. Officers returned fire, and Herrera was killed on scene. No officers were injured.
The Multi-Agency Task Force is investigating the shooting.

Live updates: Bryan Kohberger awaits sentencing after admitting to Idaho student murders
Update: Date: 9 min ago Title: Here's everything we know about Bryan Kohberger Content: Bryan Christopher Kohberger, the 30-year-old who admitted to fatally stabbing four University of Idaho students in their apartment in 2022, will be sentenced today. He faces a 10-year sentence on the burglary charge and a life sentence for each of the four counts of first-degree homicide. Here's what we know about him: Criminal justice PhD student: Catholic university student: Past Reddit post: Update: Date: 14 min ago Title: People lined up overnight to get a seat in the courtroom Content: It was around 8 p.m. last night when Denise Feldman-Ersland walked up to the courthouse where Bryan Kohberger is due to be sentenced this morning for the 2022 murders of four University of Idaho students. 'Mostly, I want to see the families get some sort of closure,' she told CNN early this morning when asked why she waited overnight for the chance to get a seat inside the courtroom. 'I know it's not the closure that many of them want. It's not the closure I want to see. I think we should have gone to trial, but our legal system works in many different ways,' she said. Today, she said, will be a 'hard day,' and she wanted to be present to support the families of the victims, she said. 'The families today, they get to speak and say what they want to say, and I think that's important.' Two University of Idaho sophomores, Rachel Hammack and Stella Brumpton, also waited outside overnight, they told CNN, seated in foldable camping chairs wearing collegiate pullovers. They did not know any of the victims personally, they said, but they had connections through other people. 'We stayed in line all night because we thought it would be important as college students, especially at the University of Idaho, to come support the families of the victims,' Hammack said, adding they also wanted to support 'those close to us that knew the victims, to be able to support them and support these families in person, instead of just watching a live stream.' 'I think it's going to be very emotionally charged,' Brumpton added. 'I think it'll be a lot, but we're in it together.' Update: Date: 42 min ago Title: Idaho prosecutors say they wanted to spare families from long road that comes after death penalty Content: Idaho prosecutors say they wanted to spare the families of four University of Idaho students killed in November 2022 by agreeing to a plea deal that would see the confessed killer avoid a possible death sentence. Instead, Bryan Kohberger will be sentenced this week to life in prison without parole, and he'll forfeit his right to appeal. The agreement received mixed reactions from the families of Ethan Chapin, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Madison Mogen, highlighting how the death penalty — and the possibility of it — affects victims' loved ones, often referred to as survivors or co-victims, in deeply personal ways. They are not a monolithic group; resolution can mean something different to each person. 'Every co-victim of murder is different in what their needs are and are going to be different in how they see those needs being met and are going to be different in how they see justice being served,' said Scott Vollum, a professor at the University of Minnesota Duluth who has studied violence, the death penalty and its effect on co-victims. Had Kohberger gone to trial, there was no guarantee he would have been sentenced to death. If he were, it likely would have been years, even decades, before an execution — and even that would not be certain. For victims' families, a death sentence is not the end of a journey but the beginning of one. While some may find solace in the end, for many, even those who support the execution, the intervening years of appeals and uncertainty often reopen old wounds.

Update: Date: 47 min ago Title: Kohberger likely to face life in prison after plea deal Content: Bryan Kohberger will be sentenced today in the killings of four University of Idaho students. It comes after he changed his plea and admitted to the murders earlier this month. With that, Kohberger cemented a deal that would allow him to avoid the death penalty. Here's what the judge is considering today: A letter sent to the victims' families from Moscow Prosecuting Attorney Bill Thompson indicated Kohberger will likely be sentenced to life in prison and the deal requires him to waive his right to appeal, the Idaho Statesman reported.
